Gene Details:

• Gene ID: CM2163.80
• Gene Symbol: LjMOT1
• Gene Name: molybdate transporter 1
• Genome: L. japonicus protein database (miyakogusa.jp, http://www.kazusa.jp/lotus/index.html, database of build 2.5)
• Species: Lotus japonicus

Functional Descriptions:

• LjMOT1, a high-affinity molybdate transporter from Lotus japonicus, is essential for molybdate uptake, but not for the delivery to nodules.
• We characterized a high-affinity Mo transporter (LjMOT1) from Lotus japonicus. Mo concentrations in an ethyl methanesulfonate–mutagenized line (LjMOT1) decreased by 70–95% compared with wild-type (WT).
• Our results demonstrated that LjMOT1 is essential for L. japonicus to take up Mo from the soil. However, disruption of this transporter did not significantly affect the process of nodule formation and nitrogen fixation.
• Our results suggest that LjMOT1 is an essential Mo transporter in L. japonicus for Mo uptake from the soil and growth, but is not for Mo delivery to the nodules.
