molybdate transporter 2 | Brief Description | sulfate transmembrane transporter |

| TAIR Curator Summary | MOT2 encodes a molybdate transporter which locates to the vacuolar membrane. Loss-of-function (knock out) mutants show elevated molydate levels in rosette leaves and in fully senescent leaves, but decreased MoO4 levels in seeds. Under conditions of molybdate deficiency leaves from mot2::tDNA mutants show strongly reduced nitrate reductase activity. The mot2 gene is slightly expressed in young and mature leaves, but strongly in senescing leaves. This observation points to a function of MOT2 in molybdate transfer from leaves to seeds during plant senescence. |
