MYCGR3G33699 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G33699 (symbol kin) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 1 encodes a kinesin-like motor protein with microtubule motor activity, ATP hydrolase activity, and microtubule binding. The protein is associated with multiple mitotic processes including spindle elongation, chromosome movement to the spindle pole, kinetochore retrieval, microtubule depolymerization, and spindle breakdown. It localizes to kinesin complexes, spindle and cortical microtubules, and the microtubule cytoskeleton. The gene is linked to nucleus localization, cytoskeleton-dependent intracellular transport, and retrograde Golgi vesicle recycling. Studies of related kinesin family members in other species connect the family to mitotic spindle assembly and function.
