BackgroundThe rice blast is a typical fungal disease caused byMagnaporthe oryzae, and the mitochondrial ATP-dependent Lon protease (MAP1) has been proven to be involved in blast development. We previously screened a C3HC type Zinc-finger domain protein (ZFC3), which is interacted with MAP1. The purpose of this research was to study the biological function of ZFC3 protein inM. oryzae.ResultsWe first confirmed that the ZFC3-RFP fusion protein is localized within the mitochondria. The deleted mutant strains of ZFC3 (∆ZFC3) showed the enhanced expression level of mtATP6, particularly mtATP8, and almost unchanged nATP9. ΔZFC3produces more conidia and more tolerance to multiple stressors. The knock-out strain shows more melanin accumulation suggests the susceptibility to aging. ΔZFC3displays faster early-stage hypha infiltration involved in MAP1-mediated pathogenicity in host rice.ConclusionThese results support the view that ZFC3 is a key regulator involved in gene regulation, stress response, cell wall integrity, longevity, conidiation, infection hypha development and MAP1-mediated pathogenicity inM. oryzae.
