MYCGR3G36951 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G36951 (symbol sidC, also known as NRPS1) on chromosome 2 of Zymoseptoria tritici encodes a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS1) with ligase activity forming carbon-nitrogen bonds and phosphopantetheine binding. This gene is associated with DHN-melanin biosynthesis, nonribosomal peptide anabolism, ferrichrome and ferricrocin anabolism, siderophore anabolism and siderophore-iron import into the cell, as well as lysine anabolism, cellular response to iron ion starvation, cellular iron ion homeostasis, melanin anabolism, secondary metabolism, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. The product localises to the cytoplasm and cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to reduced virulence.
