MYCGR3G39735 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

The Zymoseptoria tritici gene lox (MYCGR3G39735) on chromosome 3 encodes a protein with L-amino-acid oxidase activity, belonging to the flavin monoamine oxidase and amino oxidase families. This extracellular enzyme is associated with oxylipin anabolism, defense response, amino acid breakdown, host invasion, spore germination, hyphal growth, detoxification, sporulation, and mating. Related genes in other species link the family to L-amino-acid oxidase activity (EC 1.4.3.2, 1.4.3.11, 1.4.3.14, 1.4.3.25). The gene is also connected to domains including zeta-carotene desaturase/oxidoreductase, SWIRM, and HMG-box, though these associations are based on sequence similarity to distant relatives.
