MYCGR3G50017 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G50017 (FUS3) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 11 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. It is linked to mRNA processing, spliceosomal complex assembly, regulation of RNA splicing, and positive regulation of mRNA splicing via the spliceosome. Associations also include mating behavior, cell-cell fusion, chemotropism, meiotic cell cycle modulation, meiotic exit, receptor internalization, regulation of growth, and negative regulation of G1/S transition. The product localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, mitotic actomyosin contractile ring, spliceosome complex, mitotic spindle pole body, cell division site, and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to MAP kinase activity, sporogenesis, oxidative stress, and vivipary.
