MYCGR3G99766 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G99766 (MFS) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 4 encodes a Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) sugar transporter with myo-inositol:proton symporter activity and broader proton:sugar symporter activity. The gene is associated with carbohydrate transport, glycerol transmembrane transport, myo-inositol import into cells, quinate metabolism, and secretion. It is linked to transepithelial migration of the symbiont in the host. The product localises to the plasma membrane and membrane. Studies of related genes in other species, including qutD, mfsA, oryC, ecdD, rco-3, criB, and HGT1, connect the family to quinate utilisation, sugar transport, and other metabolic processes, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
