Abstract excerpt
Among expressed sequence tag libraries of Mycosphaerella graminicola isolate IPO323, we identified a full-length cDNA clone with high homology to the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase Slt2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This MAP kinase consists of a 1242-bp open reading frame, and encodes a 414-amino-acid protein. We designated this homolog MgSlt2, generated MgSlt2 knockout strains in M. graminicola isolate...
