MYCGR3G37276 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G37276, designated MVE1 on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 2, encodes a Velvet domain-containing protein (velA/MVE1). This gene is associated with the regulation of fungal development and secondary metabolism. MVE1 is linked to negative regulation of conidiophore development and sexual sporulation, while positively regulating asexual sporulation. It has been connected to aerial mycelium formation, spore germination, and conidiophore development. The gene is also associated with melanin anabolism, mycose biosynthesis, activation of gliotoxin anabolism, and secondary metabolism. MVE1 shows links to hypersensitivity and spore formation. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species include veA, VEL1, and others.
