MYCGR3G49830 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G49830 (symbol ppoA) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 11 encodes a protein with linoleate 8R-lipoxygenase, 9,12-octadecadienoate 8-hydroperoxide 8S-isomerase, fatty acid peroxidase, dioxygenase, peroxidase, isomerase, oxidoreductase, monooxygenase, iron-binding and heme-binding activities. It belongs to the Ppo_N, haem peroxidase, oxylipin biosynthesis and cytochrome P450 superfamilies. The gene is associated with oxylipin and prostaglandin anabolism, fatty acid metabolism, penicillin and sterigmatocystin metabolism, hydrogen peroxide catabolism, response to oxidative stress, and regulation of both asexual and sexual sporulation. It is linked to positive regulation of asexual sporulation and negative regulation of sexual sporulation. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to altered virulence, including hypervirulence and reduced virulence, though these effects are not established for this gene.
