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.
