MYCGR3G84991 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G84991 (symbol ndc80) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 3 encodes a protein with kinetochore adaptor activity, microtubule binding, and identical protein binding. The product is a component of the Ndc80 complex and localises to the outer kinetochore, centromere region and nucleus. This gene is associated with kinetochore assembly, spindle attachment to chromosomes during both mitosis and meiosis I, meiotic centromere clustering, chromosome biorientation, the spindle assembly checkpoint, and microtubule assembly and shortening. It is also linked to intraciliary transport, sumoylation, and prophase. Related genes in other species connect the family to similar kinetochore functions and chromosome segregation processes.
