MYCGR3G42881 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G42881, also known as FUS3, encodes a protein with serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding, placing it in the SRPK family of protein kinases. In Zymoseptoria tritici, this gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes including regulation of seed maturation, pigment accumulation, peptidyl-serine phosphorylation, mRNA processing, spliceosomal complex assembly, mating behavior, cell-cell fusion, chemotropism, asexual sporulation, and the HOG response. The encoded 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, and oxidative stress responses.
