Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: MtMOT1.3
- Gene Name: Molybdate Transporter type 1.3
- Genome:
- Species: Medicago truncatula
Functional Descriptions:
- Medicago truncatula Molybdate Transporter type 1 (MtMOT1.3) is a plasma membrane molybdenum transporter required for nitrogenase activity in root nodules under molybdenum deficiency.
- MtMOT1.3 shows molybdate transport capabilities when expressed in yeast.
- Medicago truncatula plants lacking a functional MtMOT1.3 gene show a reduction of nitrogenase activity, thus connecting MtMOT1.3 function with molybdenum supply for FeMoCo biosynthesis.
- These data are consistent with a model in which MtMOT1.3 is responsible for introducing molybdate into nodule cells, which is later used to synthesize functional nitrogenase.
