Jasmonic acid (JA) and related cyclopentanones are critical plant signaling molecules,
but their mode of action at the molecular level is unclear. A map-based approach
was used to identify the defective gene in the Arabidopsis JA response mutant
jar1-1. JAR1 is 1 of 19 closely related Arabidopsis genes that are
similar to the auxin-induced soybean GH3 gene. Analysis of fold predictions
for this protein family suggested that JAR1 might belong to the acyl adenylate-forming
firefly luciferase superfamily. These enzymes activate the carboxyl groups of a variety
of substrates for their subsequent biochemical modification. An ATP-PPi isotope exchange
assay was used to demonstrate adenylation activity in a glutathione S-transferase--JAR1
fusion protein. Activity was specific for JA, suggesting that covalent modification
of JA is important for its function. Six other Arabidopsis genes were specifically
active on indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and one was active on both IAA and salicylic
acid. These findings suggest that the JAR1 gene family is involved in multiple
important plant signaling pathways.
