VPY — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_6G027840 (symbol VPY) on barrel medic chromosome 6 encodes a protein with ankyrin repeat and MSP domains, and is annotated with ubiquitin ligase activity, voltage-sensitive potassium channel activity, and identical protein binding. The gene is associated with strigolactone anabolism, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, response to symbiotic bacteria and fungi, membrane polarization, pigmentation, protein ubiquitination, and cell division. Its product localises to the periarbuscular membrane, ER membrane, plasmalemma, cytosol, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ubiquitin-protein transferase activity (EC 2.3.2.27).
