MYCGR3G73287 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G73287 (symbol kin) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 6 encodes a kinesin motor protein with microtubule motor activity, ATP hydrolase activity, and both plus-end- and minus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of microtubule-related processes, including mitotic and meiotic spindle formation and stability, nuclear migration during telophase, chromosome movement to spindle poles, and protein transport along microtubules to cell tips and kinetochores. It is linked to microtubule anchoring at the spindle pole body, establishment of microtubule cytoskeleton polarity, and vesicle recycling within the Golgi. The protein localises to kinesin complexes, microtubule ends, and mitotic spindle microtubules. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to microtubule sliding and depolymerisation.
