MYCGR3G54556 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G54556 (wc-1) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 1 encodes a protein with photoreceptor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding, and contains PAS and PAS-associated C domains. The product localises to the nucleus and is associated with regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene is linked to the lreA protein, which is connected to AFB1. Studies of the related gene WC1 in other species, identified through sequence similarity, link the family to light perception and circadian regulation.
