Different Chitin Synthase Genes Are Required for Various Developmental and Plant Infection Processes in the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae
Figure 1
The seven predicted CHS genes in M. oryzae.
(A) Domain structures of the seven chitin synthases in M. oryzae. Chs, chitin synthase domain; Cyt-b5, cytochrome b5-like heme/steroid binding domain; MMD, myosin motor domain; TM, transmembrane domain. (B) Directions and chromosomal positions of CHS5 and CHS6 in M. oryzae and their orthologs in F. graminearum, A. fumigatus, and N. crassa. RBS, Rlm1p-binding sequence.
