MYCGR3G36348 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G36348 (wc-1) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 2 encodes a protein with photoreceptor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, and zinc binding, and is localised to the nucleus. The gene is associated with regulation of DNA-templated transcription and has been connected to the protein lreA, which centres on AFB1. The encoded product belongs to the PAS domain superfamily. Studies of related genes in other species link this family to WC1, though these functions are not yet established in Z. tritici.
