Sequence analysis and expression pattern of MGTA1 gene in rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe grisea

J Zhejiang Univ Sci B. 2005 Aug;6(8):817-24. doi: 10.1631/jzus.2005.B0817.

Abstract

MGTA1, a putative fungal Zn(II)(2)Cys(6) transcriptional activator-encoding gene, was isolated from rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe grisea, which is homologous to CLTA1 from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum with 51% identity at protein level. MGTA1 cassette contains a 2370 bp open reading frame, consisting of 6 exons, coding a 790 amino acid peptide. MGTA1 gene exists as a single copy in genomes of 7 strains of M. grisea, and is expressed in tip hyphae, conidia, and mature appressoria of strain Guy11.
