MYCGR3G46302 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G46302 (FUS3) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 8 encodes a dual-specificity protein kinase with serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase activities, ATP binding, and a Ser/Thr_dual-spec_kinase domain. The gene is associated with regulation of seed maturation, seed development, pigment accumulation, and peptidyl-serine phosphorylation, as well as positive regulation of mRNA splicing via the spliceosome, spliceosomal complex assembly, and regulation of RNA splicing. It is linked to mating behavior, cell-cell fusion, chemotropism, receptor internalization, asexual sporulation, meiotic exit, negative regulation of G1/S cell cycle transition, and regulation of growth. The product localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, cytosol, spliceosome complex, mitotic spindle pole body, and cell division site. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sporogenesis, oxidative stress, and vivipary.
