COI1: An Arabidopsis Gene Required for Jasmonate-Regulated Defense and Fertility

Dao-Xin Xie, Bart F. Feys, * Sarah James, dagger Manuela Nieto-Rostro, John G. Turner ddagger

The coi1 mutation defines an Arabidopsis gene required for response to jasmonates, which regulate defense against insects and pathogens, wound healing, and pollen fertility. The wild-type allele, COI1, was mapped to a 90-kilobase genomic fragment and located by complementation of coi1-1 mutants. The predicted amino acid sequence of the COI1 protein contains 16 leucine-rich repeats and an F-box motif. It has similarity to the F-box proteins Arabidopsis TIR1, human Skp2, and yeast Grr1, which appear to function by targeting repressor proteins for removal by ubiquitination.
