NCBI Protein Information
Seven transmembrane MLO family protein
NCBI Summary
A member of a large family of seven-transmembrane domain proteins specific to plants, homologs of the barley mildew resistance locus o (MLO) protein. The Arabidopsis genome contains 15 genes encoding MLO proteins, with localization in plasma membrane. Phylogenetic analysis revealed four clades of closely-related AtMLO genes. ATMLO13 belongs to the clade II, with ATMLO1 and ATMLO15. The gene is expressed during early seedling growth, in root and cotyledon vascular system, in pollen and also in placenta of developing siliques, as shown by GUS activity patterns. The expression of several phylogenetically closely-related AtMLO genes showed similar or overlapping tissue specificity and analogous responsiveness to external stimuli, suggesting functional redundancy, co-function, or antagonistic function(s).

UniProt Comments
May be involved in modulation of pathogen defense and leaf cell death. Activity seems to be regulated by Ca2+-dependent calmodulin binding and seems not to require heterotrimeric G proteins .
