The JAZ Proteins Link Jasmonate Perception with Transcriptional Changes

ثبت نشده
چکیده

The oxylipin jasmonic acid (JA) and its metabolites, collectively known as jasmonates, are important plant signaling molecules that mediate biotic and abiotic stress responses as well as aspects of growth and development. Although it is well known that JA regulates transcription, the mechanism of this regulation has been largely unknown. Recently, this situation changed dramatically with the discovery of a novel family of transcriptional regulators called jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) proteins. Three groups independently identified members of this family in Arabidopsis and showed that they function as repressors of JA-regulated transcription. Furthermore, genetic, molecular, and biochemical studies indicate that the JAZ proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin protein ligase SCFCOI1 in response to JA. In addition, one group showed that JAZ proteins interact with the positive regulator of JA signaling, MYC2. These data support an important new model of jasmonate signaling and response. In this essay, we summarize this recent work and discuss some remaining questions concerning JA signal transduction.

The JAZ proteins link jasmonate perception with transcriptional changes.

The oxylipin jasmonic acid (JA) and its metabolites, collectively known as jasmonates, are important plant signaling molecules that mediate biotic and abiotic stress responses as well as aspects of growth and development.

Jasmonate-induced nicotine formation in tobacco is mediated by tobacco COI1 and JAZ genes.

Biosynthesis of many plant alkaloids is enhanced by endogenous accumulation and exogenous application of jasmonates, but the general and specific signaling components are not well understood. In Arabidopsis, jasmonate-induced ZIM-domain-containing (JAZ) proteins have recently been found to be critical transcriptional repressors linking CORONATINE INSENSTIVE1 (COI1)-mediated jasmonate perception...

The Non-JAZ TIFY Protein TIFY8 from Arabidopsis thaliana Is a Transcriptional Repressor

Jasmonate (JA) signalling is mediated by the JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) repressor proteins, which are degraded upon JA perception to release downstream responses. The ZIM protein domain is characteristic of the larger TIFY protein family. It is currently unknown if the atypical member TIFY8 is involved in JA signalling. Here we show that the TIFY8 ZIM domain is functional and mediated interacti...

Regulation of growth–defense balance by the JASMONATE ZIM‐DOMAIN (JAZ)‐MYC transcriptional module

The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) promotes the degradation of JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins to relieve repression on diverse transcription factors (TFs) that execute JA responses. However, little is known about how combinatorial complexity among JAZ-TF interactions maintains control over myriad aspects of growth, development, reproduction, and immunity. We used loss-of-function mutations t...

JAZ8 lacks a canonical degron and has an EAR motif that mediates transcriptional repression of jasmonate responses in Arabidopsis.

The lipid-derived hormone jasmonoyl-L-Ile (JA-Ile) initiates large-scale changes in gene expression by stabilizing the interaction of JASMONATE ZIM domain (JAZ) repressors with the F-box protein CORONATINE INSENSITIVE1 (COI1), which results in JAZ degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Recent structural studies show that the JAZ1 degradation signal (degron) includes a short conserved ...
