More | protein consists of a myosin motor domain fused to a membrane-spanning chitin synthase region. Both domains are required for fungal virulence. Fungi carrying mutations in the chitin synthase domain are rapidly recognized and killed by the plant, whereas fungi carrying a deletion of the motor domain show alterations in cell wall composition but can invade host tissue and cause a moderate plant response | Ustilago maydis |

physiological function | isoform Mcs1 consists of a myosin motor domain fused to a membrane-spanning chitin synthase region. Both domains are required for fungal virulence. Fungi carrying mutations in the chitin synthase domain are rapidly recognized and killed by the plant, whereas fungi carrying a deletion of the motor domain show alterations in cell wall composition but can invade host tissue and cause a moderate plant response. Mcs1-bound vesicles exhibit long-range movement for up to 20 mm at a velocity of ;1.75 microm/s. Apical Mcs1 localization depends on F-actin and the motor domain, whereas Mcs1 motility requires microtubules and persists when the Mcs1 motor domain is deleted | Ustilago maydis |
