High impact information on PIR3

We isolated three highly homologous genes, PIR1, PIR2 and PIR3, collectively called the PIR genes [1].
PIR1 and PIR3 are closely linked to each other and are on chromosome XI [1].

Other interactions of PIR3

Addition of a pir3 disruption to the pir1 pir2 double disruptant brought about no phenotypic difference from the original double mutant [1].
