MYCGR3G36575 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G36575 (FUS3) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 2 encodes a dual-specificity protein kinase with protein tyrosine kinase, serine/threonine kinase, and ATP-binding activities. It is associated with regulation of seed maturation, seed development, pigment accumulation, mating behavior, cell-cell fusion, chemotropism, asexual sporulation, HOG response, meiotic exit, receptor internalization, regulation of growth, mRNA processing, spliceosomal complex assembly, and negative regulation of G1/S cell cycle transition. The product localizes to the spliceosome complex, mitotic spindle pole body, cell division site, cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to MAP kinase signaling, sporogenesis, oxidative stress, and vivipary, though these associations are not established for this gene.
