Genome-wide identification and characterization of the JAZ gene family in Gynostemma pentaphyllum reveals the COI1/JAZ/MYC2 complex potential involved in the regulation of the MeJA-induced gypenoside biosynthesis. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 214:108952. [PMID: 39043058 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
The Jasmonate ZIM domain (JAZ) proteins, functioning as critical suppressors for jasmonic acid (JA) signal transduction in plants, occupy crucial roles in multiple biological processes, particularly in the orchestration of secondary metabolic pathways. However, the mechanism underlying the JA-induced gypenosides accumulation in Gynostemma pentaphyllum remains poorly elucidated. Our research led to the identification of 11 distinct JAZ members in G. pentaphyllum (GpJAZs). According to the classification approach of AtJAZ, we allocated these members into five subgroups that shared similar conserved motif compositions. Subsequently, we identified the presence of various cis-acting elements associated with light stimuli, hormone responses, and stress signals within the promoter regions of the GpJAZ gene family. The expression levels of GpJAZ genes in different tissues were quite different, and the majority of GpJAZ genes exhibited varying degrees of response to methyl jasmonate (MeJA) induction. Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assays revealed interactions between GpJAZ1/2/4/5/7/9/10 and GpMYC2, whereas GpCOI1 protein was found to interact with GpJAZ1/2/4/5, thereby forming the COI1/JAZ/MYC2 complex. Furthermore, as an activator of gypenoside metabolic pathway, GpMYC2 could activate the promoter activity of the gypenoside metabolism-related genes to varying degrees by binding to their promoters, indicating that the COI1/JAZ/MYC2 module involved in the MeJA-induced regulation of gypenosides. In summary, our findings present an exhaustive examination of the JAZ gene family, furnishing a significant lead for delving deeper into the molecular mechanisms that drive the MeJA-induced enhancement of gypenosides accumulation in G. pentaphyllum.

[PMID: 38341757 DOI: 10.1016/j.molp.2024.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Jasmonates (JAs), a class of lipid-derived stress hormones, play a crucial role across an array of plant physiological processes and stress responses. Although JA signaling is thought to rely predominantly on the degradation of specific JAZ proteins by SCFCOI1, it remains unclear whether other pathways are involved in the regulation of JAZ protein stability. Here, we report that PUB22, a plant U-box type E3 ubiquitin ligase, plays a critical role in the regulation of plant resistance against Helicoverpa armigera and other JA responses in tomato. Whereas COI1 physically interacts with JAZ1/2/5/7, PUB22 physically interacts with JAZ1/3/4/6. PUB22 ubiquitinates JAZ4 to promote its degradation via the 26S proteasome pathway. Importantly, we observed that pub22 mutants showreduced resistance to H. armigera, whereas jaz4 single mutants and jaz1 jaz3 jaz4 jaz6 quadruple mutants have enhanced resistance. The hypersensitivity of pub22 mutants to herbivores could be partially rescued by JAZ4 mutation. Moreover, we found that expression of PUB22 can be transcriptionally activated by MYC2, thus forming a positive feedback circuit in JA signaling. We noticed that the PUB22-JAZ4 module also regulates other JA responses, including defense against B. cinerea, inhibition of root elongation, and anthocyanin accumulation. Taken together, these results indicate that PUB22 plays a crucial role in plant growth and defense responses, together with COI1-regulated JA signaling, by targeting specific JAZs.

TREE PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 44:tpad121. [PMID: 37741055 DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpad121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/25/2023]
Abstract
Ginkgo biloba L., an ancient relict plant known as a 'living fossil', has a high medicinal and nutritional value in its kernels and leaves. Ginkgolides are unique diterpene lactone compounds in G. biloba, with favorable therapeutic effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Thus, it is essential to study the biosynthesis and regulatory mechanism of ginkgolide, which will contribute to quality improvement and medication requirements. In this study, the regulatory roles of the JAZ gene family and GbCOI1/GbJAZs/GbMYC2 module in ginkgolide biosynthesis were explored based on genome and methyl jasmonate-induced transcriptome. Firstly, 18 JAZ proteins were identified from G. biloba, and the gene characteristics and expansion patterns along with evolutionary relationships of these GbJAZs were analyzed systematically. Expression patterns analysis indicated that most GbJAZs expressed highly in the fibrous root and were induced significantly by methyl jasmonate. Mechanistically, yeast two-hybrid assays suggested that GbJAZ3/11 interacted with both GbMYC2 and GbCOI1, and several GbJAZ proteins could form homodimers or heterodimers between the GbJAZ family. Moreover, GbMYC2 is directly bound to the G-box element in the promoter of GbLPS, to regulate the biosynthesis of ginkgolide. Collectively, these results systematically characterized the JAZ gene family in G. biloba and demonstrated that the GbCOI1/GbJAZs/GbMYC2 module could regulate ginkgolides biosynthesis, which provides a novel insight for studying the mechanism of JA regulating ginkgolide biosynthesis.

Abstract
The plant hormone (3R, 7S)-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine ((3R, 7S)-JA-Ile) is perceived by the COI1-JAZ co-receptor in Arabidopsis thaliana, leading to the activation of gene expression for plant defense responses, growth, development, and other processes. Therefore, understanding the interaction between the COI1-JAZ co-receptor and its ligands is essential for the development of COI1-JAZ agonists and antagonists as potent chemical tools for regulating (3R, 7S)-JA-Ile signaling. This study demonstrated that COI1-JAZ has two independent modes of ligand perception using a differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) assay. (3R, 7S)-JA-Ile is perceived through a one-step model in which (3R, 7S)-JA-Ile causes protein-protein interaction between COI1 and JAZ. In contrast, coronatine (COR), a mimic of (3R, 7S)-JA-Ile, is perceived through a two-step model in which COR is first perceived by COI1 and then recruits JAZ to form the COI1-COR-JAZ complex. Our results demonstrate two distinct modes of action of molecular glues causing protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
The Flowering locus T (FT) gene encodes the florigen protein, which primarily regulates the flowering time in plants. Recent studies have shown that FT genes also significantly affect plant growth and development. The FT gene overexpression in plants promotes flowering and suppresses leaf and stem development. This study aimed to conduct a transcriptome analysis to investigate the multiple effects of Jatropha curcas L. homolog (JcFT) overexpression on leaf growth in tobacco plants. The findings revealed that JcFT overexpression affected various biological processes during leaf development, including plant hormone levels and signal transduction, lipid oxidation metabolism, terpenoid metabolism, and the jasmonic-acid-mediated signaling pathway. These results suggested that the effects of FT overexpression in plants were complex and multifaceted, and the combination of these factors might contribute to a reduction in the leaf size. This study comprehensively analyzed the effects of JcFT on leaf development at the transcriptome level and provided new insights into the function of FT and its homologous genes.

Abstract
Different plant species employ different jasmonates to activate a conserved signalling pathway in land plants, where (+)-7-iso-JA-Ile (JA-Ile) is the ligand for the COI1/JAZ receptor in angiosperms and dn-cis-OPDA, dn-iso-OPDA and Δ4 -dn-iso-OPDA act as ligands in Marchantia polymorpha. In addition, some jasmonates play a COI1-independent role. To understand the distribution of bioactive jasmonates in the green lineage and how their biosynthetic pathways evolved, we performed phylogenetic analyses and systematic jasmonates profiling in representative species from different lineages. We found that both OPDA and dn-OPDA are ubiquitous in all tested land plants and present also in charophyte algae, underscoring their importance as ancestral signalling molecules. By contrast, JA-Ile biosynthesis emerged within lycophytes coincident with the evolutionary appearance of JAR1 function. We identified that the OPR3-independent JA biosynthesis pathway is ancient and predates the evolutionary appearance of the OPR3-dependent pathway. Moreover, we identified a negative correlation between dn-iso-OPDA and JA-Ile in land plants, which supports that in bryophytes and lycophytes dn-iso-OPDA represents the analogous hormone to JA-Ile in other vascular plants.

Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) regulates plant growth, development and stress responses. Coronatine insensitive 1 (COI1) and jasmonate zinc-finger inflorescence meristem-domain (JAZ) proteins form a receptor complex for jasmonoyl-l-isoleucine, a biologically active form of JA. Three COIs (OsCOI1a, OsCOI1b and OsCOI2) are encoded in the rice genome. In the present study, we generated mutants for each rice COI gene using genome editing to reveal the physiological functions of the three rice COIs. The oscoi2 mutants, but not the oscoi1a and oscoi1b mutants, exhibited severely low fertility, indicating the crucial role of OsCOI2 in rice fertility. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the transcriptional changes after methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment were moderate in the leaves of oscoi2 mutants compared to those in the wild type or oscoi1a and oscoi1b mutants. MeJA-induced chlorophyll degradation and accumulation of antimicrobial secondary metabolites were suppressed in oscoi2 mutants. These results indicate that OsCOI2 plays a central role in JA response in rice leaves. In contrast, the assessment of growth inhibition upon exogenous application of JA to seedlings of each mutant revealed that rice COIs are redundantly involved in shoot growth, whereas OsCOI2 plays a primary role in root growth. In addition, a co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that OsJAZ2 and OsJAZ5 containing divergent Jas motifs physically interacted only with OsCOI2, whereas OsJAZ4 with a canonical Jas motif interacts with all three rice COIs. The present study demonstrated the functional diversity of rice COIs, thereby providing clues to the mechanisms regulating the various physiological functions of JA.

Abstract
Severe genetic redundancy is particularly clear in gene families encoding plant hormone receptors, each subtype sharing redundant and specific functions. Genetic redundancy of receptor family members represents a major challenge for the functional dissection of each receptor subtype. A paradigmatic example is the perception of the hormone (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine, perceived by several COI1-JAZ complexes; the specific role of each receptor subtype still remains elusive. Subtype-selective agonists of the receptor are valuable tools for analyzing the responses regulated by individual receptor subtypes. We constructed a stereoisomer library consisting of all stereochemical isomers of coronatine (COR), a mimic of the plant hormone (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine, to identify subtype-selective agonists for COI1-JAZ co-receptors in Arabidopsis thaliana and Solanum lycopersicum. An agonist selective for the Arabidopsis COI1-JAZ9 co-receptor efficiently revealed that JAZ9 is not involved in most of the gene downregulation caused by COR, and the degradation of JAZ9-induced defense without inhibiting growth.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1017840. [PMID: 36275529 PMCID: PMC9581314 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1017840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Plant-specific TIFY [TIF(F/Y)XG] proteins serve important roles in the regulation of plant stress responses. This family encodes four subfamilies of proteins, JAZ (JASMONATE ZIM-domain), PPD (PEAPOD), ZML (Zinc-finger Inflorescence-like), and TIFY. In this work, a total of 16 JAZ, 3 PPD, 7 ZML, and 2 TIFY genes were found in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) at the genome-wide level. The phylogenetics, exon-intron structure, motif organization, and conserved domains of these genes were analyzed to characterize the members of the JAZ, PPD, and ZML subfamilies. Chromosome location and synteny analyses revealed that 26 JAZ, PPD, and ZML genes were irregularly distributed across 14 of the 18 chromosomes, and 18 gene pairs were implicated in large-scale interchromosomal segmental duplication events. In addition, JAZ, PPD, and ZML gene synteny comparisons between cassava and three other plant species (Arabidopsis, Populus trichocarpa, and rice) uncovered vital information about their likely evolution. The prediction of protein interaction network and cis-acting elements reveal the function of JAZ, PPD, and ZML genes. Subsequently, expression patterns of JAZ, PPD, and ZML genes were validated by qRT-PCR as being expressed in response to osmotic, salt, and cadmium stress. Moreover, almost all JAZ subfamily genes were responsive to jasmonic acid (JA) treatment. In particular, MeJAZ1, MeJAZ13, and MeJAZ14, were highly up-regulated by three treatments, and these genes may deserve further study. This comprehensive study lays the groundwork for future research into TIFY family genes in cassava and may be valuable for genetic improvement of cassava and other related species.

Abstract
The plant disease resistance system involves a very complex regulatory network in which jasmonates play a key role in response to external biotic or abiotic stresses. As inhibitors of the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway, JASMONATE ZIM domain (JAZ) proteins have been identified in many plant species, and their functions are gradually being clarified. In this study, 26 JAZ genes were identified in tomato. The physical and chemical properties, predicted subcellular localization, gene structure, cis-acting elements, and interspecies collinearity of 26 SlJAZ genes were subsequently analyzed. RNA-seq data combined with qRT-PCR analysis data showed that the expression of most SlJAZ genes were induced in response to Stemphylium lycopersici, methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and salicylic acid (SA). Tobacco rattle virus RNA2-based VIGS vector (TRV2)-SlJAZ25 plants were more resistant to tomato gray leaf spots than TRV2-00 plants. Therefore, we speculated that SlJAZ25 played a negative regulatory role in tomato resistance to gray leaf spots. Based on combining the results of previous studies and those of our experiments, we speculated that SlJAZ25 might be closely related to JA and SA hormone regulation. SlJAZ25 interacted with SlJAR1, SlCOI1, SlMYC2, and other resistance-related genes to form a regulatory network, and these genes played an important role in the regulation of tomato gray leaf spots. The subcellular localization results showed that the SlJAZ25 gene was located in the nucleus. Overall, this study is the first to identify and analyze JAZ family genes in tomato via bioinformatics approaches, clarifying the regulatory role of SlJAZ25 genes in tomato resistance to gray leaf spots and providing new ideas for improving plant disease resistance.
