MYCGR3G73624 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G73624, designated ADE8, encodes a protein with phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase activity, placing it in the GART_AS and formyl_transf_N domain families. In Zymoseptoria tritici, this gene is associated with de novo IMP and adenine biosynthesis, as well as DNA integration, replication, and repair. It has been linked to host invasion, hyphal growth, morphogenesis, protein modification, translation initiation, and cell cycle. The product localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase activity (EC 2.1.2.2).
