Abstract

Summary: Coronatine is an important virulence factor produced by several pathovars of the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. The structure of coronatine is similar to that of a class of plant hormones called jasmonates (JAs). An important step in JA signaling is the SCF COI1 E3 ubiquitin ligase‐dependent degradation of JAZ repressor proteins. We have recently shown that jasmonoyl isoleucine (JA‐Ile) promotes physical interaction between Arabidopsis JAZ1 and COI1 (the F‐box component of SCF COI1) proteins, and that the JA‐Ile‐dependent COI1–JAZ1 interaction could be reconstituted in yeast cells (i.e. in the absence of other plant proteins). Here we show that coronatine, but not its two biosynthetic precursors, also promotes interaction between Arabidopsis COI1 and multiple JAZ proteins. The C‐terminal Jas motif, but not the N‐terminal (NT) domain or central ZIM domain of JAZ proteins, is critical for JA‐Ile/coronatine‐dependent interaction with COI1. Two positively charged amino acid residues in the Jas domain were identified as essential for coronatine‐dependent COI1–JAZ interactions. Mutations of these two residues did not affect the ability of JAZ1 and JAZ9 to interact with the transcription factor AtMYC2. Importantly, transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing JAZ1 carrying these two mutations exhibited JA‐insensitive phenotypes, including male sterility and enhanced resistance to P. syringae infection. These results not only suggest that coronatine and JA‐Ile target the physical interaction between COI1 and the Jas domain of JAZ repressors, but also illustrate the critical role of positively charged amino acids in the Jas domain in mediating the JA‐Ile/coronatine‐dependent JAZ interaction with COI1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
