MYCGR3G52389 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MST7 (MYCGR3G52389) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 1 encodes a protein with MAPKK activity, protein tyrosine kinase activity, ERK1, protein kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with regulation of ascospore formation, positive regulation of appressorium formation, upregulation of cell wall organisation or biogenesis, positive regulation of chromatin silencing at silent mating-type cassette, upregulation of calcium-mediated signaling, parasexual conjugation with cellular fusion, cellular HOG response, p38 cascade, conjugation with cellular fusion, regulation of fungal-type cell wall organization, cell integrity MAPK cascade, appressorium formation, positive regulation of mitotic entry, cellular osmotic response, upregulation of filamentous growth of a population of unicellular organisms in response to starvation, cell differentiation, secondary metabolism, osmotic response, and pheromone response MAPK cascade. It localizes to the Mcs4 RR-MAPKKK complex, division septum, cell tip, cell division site, cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase activity (EC 2.7.12.2) and, in some cases, loss of pathogenicity.
