MYCGR3G34453 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G34453, also known as PR1 or MGSPR5, encodes a serine-type endopeptidase with protease activity and metal binding, belonging to the Peptidase_S8 family. The protein is localized to the extracellular space. In Zymoseptoria tritici, this gene is associated with host invasion, spore germination, hyphal growth, proteolysis, and sporulation. Related genes in other species link the family to alkaline serine protease activity (EC 3.4.21.63 and 3.4.21.64) and, in some cases, unaffected pathogenicity. The gene is located on chromosome 1.
