STR — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_8G101390, also known as STR, MtNAP7, or ABCI6, encodes an ABC transporter with ATP-coupled transmembrane transporter activity, ATP hydrolase activity, and protein binding, belonging to the FeS-cluster ATPase SufC and AAA+ ATPase families. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with thylakoid membrane organization, nodulation, response to symbiotic fungi, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, exocytosis, secretion, lipogenesis, and vision. The encoded protein localizes to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, and plasmalemma. Studies of the Arabidopsis relative NAP7 link the family to embryogenesis and iron-sulfur cluster assembly. Related genes in other species have also been connected to photochemical quenching and root morphology traits.
