General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function on minimum medium, MET6 null mutants are auxotrophic for methionine. Even when grown in presence of excess methionine, mutants display developmental defects, such as reduced mycelium pigmentation, aerial hypha formation and sporulation, and metabolic signatures such as increased levels of cysteine, cystathionine, homocysteine, S-adenosylmethionine, S-adenosylhomocysteine while methionine and glutathione levels remain unchanged. the null mutant shows over-expression of CBS1 involved in the reversed transsulfuration pathway that metabolizes homocysteine into cysteine and SAM1 and SAHH1 involved in the methyl cycle. MET6 null mutants are non-pathogenic on both barley and rice leaves, and are defective in appressorium-mediated penetration and invasive infectious growth Pyricularia oryzae
