MYCGR3G31572 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G31572 (symbol tasK) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 1 encodes a protein with N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase activity and metal binding capability, belonging to the amidohydrolase-related and metal-dependent hydrolase families. The gene is associated with N-acetylglucosamine breakdown and localises to the membrane. Associations with leaf angle and plant height have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to hydrolase activity within the 3.5.4.- enzyme class, but this has not been confirmed for tasK itself.
