MYCGR3G86126 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G86126 (DGD1) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 5 encodes a protein with ornithine aminotransferase activity, N2-acetylornithine 5-aminotransferase activity, transaminase activity, pyridoxal phosphate binding, and identical protein binding. The gene is associated with ornithine metabolism, arginine breakdown to glutamate, arginine breakdown to proline via ornithine, L-proline biosynthetic process, arginine anabolism via ornithine, and arginine anabolism. Its product localises to the mitochondrial lumen, mitochondria, cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus. The protein belongs to the aminotransferase class-III family. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ornithine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.13) and acetylornithine transaminase (EC 2.6.1.11) activities.
