MYCGR3G58641 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G58641, designated SSO1 on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 5, encodes a syntaxin-family SNARE protein. The gene product is associated with SNARE complex assembly, vesicle docking, tethering and fusion, exocytosis, intracellular protein transport, and protein secretion. It has been linked to hyphal growth, polar cell growth, ascospore and spore formation, meiosis I, spindle pole body assembly, and FSM assembly. Localisation evidence connects SSO1 to the SNARE complex, endomembrane system, Golgi, endosome, plasma membrane raft, cell tip, extracellular vesicle, and the prospore membrane leading edge and SPB attachment site. Related genes in other species link the syntaxin family to sporogenesis.
