    Molecular Complementation of rnt1-1.

    (A) Seven-day-old seedlings of the wild type (3.65 ± 0.14 mm), rnt1-1 (5.06 ± 0.10 mm), and the molecularly complemented line 3.25.11 (3.00 ± 0.14 mm). The hypocotyl lengths of rnt1-1 and 3.25.11 differ significantly from that of the wild type at a 1% confidence level (t test). Bar = 5 mm.

    (B) Phenotypes of 6-week-old wild type, rnt1-1, molecularly complemented line 3.25.11, and overexpression line 1.4.7 (35S::CYP83B1).

    Characterization of CYP83B1.

    (A) Analysis of CYP83B1 by optical difference spectroscopy. A saturated type IIa spectrum was obtained with 100 μM tryptamine (indicated by the thick line, with the trough at 390 nm and the peak at 425 nm) in the sample cuvette. The addition of 100 μM tryptamine to both cuvettes gave a baseline. The increasing concentrations of indole-3-acetaldoxime in the sample cuvette (0.2, 0.8, and 3.0 μM) then displaced tryptamine, giving the reverse type IIa spectrum.

    (B) Tryptamine is an inhibitor of CYP83B1 catalysis. We incubated 22 nM CYP83B1 with 35 μM 5-3H-indole-3-acetaldoxime in the absence (–) or presence (+) of 17.5 mM tryptamine. After incubation for 10 min at 28°C, reaction mixtures were extracted with ethyl acetate and analyzed by TLC. p, product; s, substrate.

    Analysis of Reaction Mixtures using Gas Chromatography–Electron Impact Mode.

    After incubation for 0 min (A) or 15 min (B) at 28°C, reaction mixtures were subjected to gas chromatography–electron impact mode analysis (C). The new peak (p) at 21.083 min shows a molecular ion at m/z 466 and a fragmentation pattern consistent with the structure shown in the insert, with m/z 377, loss of the oxime O-trimethylsilyl (TMS); m/z 228, further loss of S-C2H5-O-TMS; m/z 202, further loss of nitrile; and m/z 73, TMS. The structure was verified by electrospray (ES)-MS of underivatized ethyl acetate–extracted reaction mixtures. p, TMS derivative of the β-mercaptoethanol adduct of the reaction mixture; s, TMS derivative of indole-3-acetaldoxime (15.467 min).

    Proposed Reaction Scheme of CYP83B1.

    CYP83B1 catalyzes the first committed step of indole glucosinolate biosynthesis, the N-hydroxylation of indole-3-acetaldoxime to a highly reactive electrophile aci-nitro compound, 1-aci-nitro-2-indolyl-ethane, that non-enzymatically forms an adduct with a nucleophile (R-SH).

    Indole Glucosinolate Levels Are Affected by CYP83B1 Expression.

    Indole glucosinolates in individual 2-week-old seedlings grown on Murashige and Skoog agar were quantified colorimetrically as thiocyanite (SCN–), as described by Bak et al. (1999). Lane 1, wild type; lane 2, rnt1-1; lane 3, molecularly complemented line 3.25.11; lane 4, overexpression line 1.4.7; and lane 5, wild type grown on 100 μM tryptamine. Data are represented as the mean ±se; n = 10 seedlings. Except for the molecularly complemented line 3.25.11, mean indole glucosinolate values all differ from wild-type seedling values at a 1% confidence value (t test).

    Figure 8.

    Indole-3-Acetaldoxime Is the Metabolic Branch Point between Indole Glucosinolates and IAA Biosynthesis.

    In rnt1-1, the pathway into indole glucosinolates through CYP83B1 is blocked, which leads to accumulation of IAA and plants with high IAA phenotype. Conversely, in CYP83B1 overexpression lines, additional indole-3-acetaldoxime is channeled into indole glucosinolate biosynthesis, which leads to plants with a low IAA phenotype and increased indole glucosinolate levels.
