VPY — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_8G056020 (symbol VPY) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) chromosome 8 encodes a protein with ankyrin repeats and an MSP domain, and has ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. The gene is associated with nodulation, nitrogen fixation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, and response to symbiotic bacteria and fungi. It is linked to strigolactone anabolism, pigmentation, membrane polarization, protein K6-linked ubiquitination, secretion, phosphate ion detection, and cell division. The encoded protein localises to the periarbuscular membrane, plasmalemma, cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
