- Genome:
- Species: Glycine max
Functional Descriptions:
- GmN70 and LjN70. Anion Transporters of the Symbiosome Membrane of Nodules with a Transport Preference for Nitrate.
- GmN70 is expressed predominantly in mature nitrogen-fixing root nodules. By western-blot and immunocytochemical analyses, GmN70 was localized to the symbiosome membrane of infected root nodule cells, suggesting a transport role in symbiosis.
- In this study, we have isolated an ortholog of this protein (GmN70) from soybean (Glycine max) and show that it is a symbiosome membrane protein that possesses an anion transport activity with a selectivity for nitrate, nitrite, and chloride.
- Overall, these findings suggest that GmN70 and LjN70 are inorganic anion transporters of the symbiosome membrane with enhanced preference for nitrate.
