MYCGR3G76651 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G76651, designated MDS3, encodes a photoreceptor with sequence-specific DNA binding and zinc-binding activity, localised to the nucleus. In Zymoseptoria tritici, this gene is associated with chlamydospore formation, sporulation, mating, fermentation, cAMP signalling, TOR signalling, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The product contains PAC, PAS, and GATA zinc-finger domains. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to calcium sensitivity and oxidative stress responses.
