VPY — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_7G086050, also known as VPY, encodes a protein with ubiquitin-protein transferase activity and contains RCC1-like and ankyrin repeat domains. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with strigolactone anabolism, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, and response to symbiotic fungi. It is also linked to pigmentation, cell division, membrane polarization, protein K6-linked ubiquitination, secretion, and phosphate ion detection. The encoded product localizes to the cytosol, plasma membrane, and nucleus.
