Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Medtr8g030850
• Gene Symbol: MtRopGEF2
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Medicago truncatula

Functional Descriptions:

• Phosphorylation of MtRopGEF2 by LYK3 mediates MtROP activity to regulate rhizobial infection in Medicago truncatula.
• Our results show that the Nod factor receptor LYK3 phosphorylates the guanine nucleotide exchange factor MtRopGEF2 at S73 which is critical for the polar growth of root hairs.
• Phosphorylated MtRopGEF2 can activate MtRac1. Activated MtRac1 was found to localize at the tips of root hairs and to strongly interact with LYK3 and NFP.
• MtRopGEF2 is phosphorylated by LYK3 to transmit the symbiotic signal and is required for the rhizobial symbiosis.
