Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Glyma.07g223000
  • Gene Symbol: GmVamp721a
  • Gene Name: vesicle-associated membrane protein 721a
  • Genome: Wm82.a2.v1
  • Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

  • VAMP721a and VAMP721d are important for pectin dynamics and release of bacteria in soybean nodules.
  • GmVAMP721d and its closest paralogue GmVamp721a are expressed in roots and nodules, whereas the level of GmVAMP721d expression is four times higher in nodules relative to roots.
  • The results therefore show that silencing of VAMP721d and VAMP721a blocks normal bacterial release and symbiosome formation in soybean nodules, demonstrating that the VAMP72d/a exocytotic pathway is operational and required for bacterial release in this symbiosis, as previously observed in M. truncatula.
  • VAMP721a, was recently shown to be a target of regulator of symbiosome differentiation (RSD).
