Jasmonates Flashcards
(Hemi)Biotrophic vs necrotrophic
Bio/hemi: microorganisms living within their host tissue without causing immediate death. Triggers salicylate production.
Necr: microorganisms cell death accompanies or precedes colonization. Triggers jasmonates production.
Participation of Jasmonates
Plant defenses to insects spreading disease and necrotrophs. Accumulates in the circadian pattern in phase with herbivory.
Contribute to developmental and growth controls.
The dominant smell of jasmine flowers
Jasmonate synthesis
Regulated and induced by wounding.
JA is Oxylipins (derived from the oxidation of free fatty acids)
Occurs in the plastid, peroxisome, and conjugation by JAR1 in the cytosol.
JA-Ile is the most active compound, whereas MeJA may be a
transport form,
JA-Ile is degraded by cytochrome P450 oxidases.
Jasmonate WIPK and SIPK
Contribute to rapid activation of JA synthesis enzymes.
WIPK: wound-induced protein kinase.
SIPK: salicylic acid-induced protein kinase.
Proteinase
Induced Inhibitors that deter and weaken herbivores via interference within the digestion.
Jasmonate Signaling
- JA-lle binds to SCF^COL1 and JAZ protein
- JAz ubiquitinated and degraded by 26S proteasome
- Degradation of repressor permits transcriptional activation by MYC2 and other transcription factors
JAZ
Repressor degradation
transcriptionally upregulated
JAZ ZIM domain interacts with NINJA, which interacts with TOPLESS, which represses transcription without hormones.
Auxin signaling
- Auxin binds to SCF^TIR1 and aux/IAA
- AUX/IAA ubiquitinated and degraded by 26S proteasome
- Degradation of repressor permits transcriptional activation by ARF transcriptional factors
jin1is deficient in
JA-induced transcription and encode MYC2.
MYC2 upregulates JAZ genes and JA synthesis, and Wound response
