MYCGR3G92187 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G92187, designated MFS1, encodes a transmembrane transporter protein belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) on chromosome 3 of Zymoseptoria tritici. The product is annotated with transmembrane transporter activity and localises to the plasmalemma. MFS1 is associated with the related gene FCUL_09348.1 in this species. Studies of related genes in other species, including sequence-similar relatives such as the MFS-type transporter CPUR_05422 and the mycotoxin efflux pump aflT, link the family to the transport of diverse substrates, including secondary metabolites. No direct evidence connects MFS1 to specific agronomic traits in Z. tritici.
