Methionine biosynthesis is essential for infection in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.

Methionine biosynthesis is essential for infection in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.

Methionine is a sulfur amino acid standing at the crossroads of several biosynthetic pathways. In fungi, the last step of methionine biosynthesis is catalyzed by a cobalamine-independent methionine synthase (Met6, EC 2.1.1.14). In the present work, we studied the role of Met6 in the infection proces...
