MYCGR3G59604 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G59604 (symbol CPA) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 6 encodes a metallocarboxypeptidase with zinc-binding activity, belonging to the peptidase M14 family. The gene is associated with proteolysis, cell wall organization, methylation, and mitosis, and its product localizes to the vacuole and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species, including FCUL_02229.1 and ecm14, link the family to metallocarboxypeptidase A-like activity (EC 3.4.17.-).
