MYCGR3G39370 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MFS1 (MYCGR3G39370) on chromosome 3 of Zymoseptoria tritici encodes a transmembrane transporter belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), specifically a proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) domain-containing protein. The gene product is localized to the plasma membrane and is associated with secondary metabolism. Studies of related genes in other species link the MFS transporter family to the export of various secondary metabolites, including fujikurins and other polyketide-derived compounds.
