Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Glyma.09g019800
  • Gene Symbol: GmVamp721d
  • Gene Name: vesicle-associated membrane protein 721d
  • Genome: Wm82.a2.v1
  • Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

  • VAMP721a and VAMP721d are important for pectin dynamics and release of bacteria in soybean nodules.
  • The localization of the main polysaccharide compounds of primary cell walls was analysed in control vs nodules with partially silenced GmVamp721d.
  • The silencing of GmVamp721d blocked the release of rhizobia. Instead of rhizobia-containing membrane compartments – symbiosomes – the infected cells contained big clusters of bacteria embedded in a matrix of methyl-esterified and de-methyl-esterified pectin. These clusters were surrounded by a membrane.
  • The biological role of VAMP721d may be explained by its action in delivering pectin-modifying enzymes to the site of release.
