MYCGR3G72659 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MGSPR1 (PR1) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 5 encodes a serine-type endopeptidase with metal-binding capacity, belonging to the peptidase S8 subtilisin-like family. The protein is localised extracellularly and is associated with host invasion, spore germination, hyphal growth, proteolysis, and sporulation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to unaffected pathogenicity. The gene is also connected to the related gene SP2.
