Description
Wei-Yi Lin and co-authors wrote a 2023 study on a gene family that manages nutrient transporters in a model legume. The NLA genes encode ubiquitin ligases that remove phosphate transporters from cell membranes when phosphate is plentiful. In other plants they brake phosphate uptake. The legume Medicago truncatula carries three versions, and whether they behave the same was unknown.
Two versions sat in the membrane and nucleus, like their known relative. The third came in three splice forms, only two of which reached the membrane. Unlike the classic gene, the legume versions were not switched off by low phosphate; some even rose. One version increased during symbiosis with nutrient-trading fungi. Overproducing it lowered a gene the fungus needs to build its feeding structures. The family has clearly diverged in legumes.
