MYCGR3G96592 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

PKS1 (MYCGR3G96592) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 11 encodes a protein with adenosylmethionine decarboxylase activity, p-diphenol:oxygen oxidoreductase activity, ketoacyl-ACP synthase activity, fatty acid synthase activity, and phosphopantetheine binding. This gene is associated with DHN-melanin biosynthesis, naphtho-gamma-pyrone anabolism, polyketide anabolism, pigment metabolic process involved in developmental pigmentation, secondary metabolism, asexual spore wall assembly, effector-mediated suppression of host pattern-triggered immunity, response to host, conidia formation, and toxin, spermidine, lysine, antibiotic, phenol-containing compound, melanin, and fatty acid anabolism. The encoded protein localizes to the endosome. Related genes in other species, including albA and wA, are linked to reduced virulence.
