VPY — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G088410 (symbol VPY) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) chromosome 3 encodes a protein containing ankyrin repeats and is associated with fatty-acyl-CoA binding, voltage-sensitive potassium channel activity, ubiquitin ligase activity, and zinc binding. The gene is linked to diverse biological processes including membrane polarization, strigolactone anabolism, protein ubiquitination, pigmentation, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, and response to symbiotic bacteria and fungi. Its product localizes to the periarbuscular membrane, ER membrane, plasmalemma, cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase activity.
