FIN219, JA-amino synthetase, JA-Ile synthetase, JAR1, JAR2, JAR3, JAR4, JAR6, jasmonate-resistant 4, jasmonate: amino acid synthetase, jasmonate:amino acid synthetase, jasmonoyl-L-amino-acid-synthetase, jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine synthetase |
| Comments |
Two jasmonoyl-L-amino acid synthetases have been described from?Nicotiana attenuata?[3] and one from?Arabidopsis thaliana?[1]. The?N. attenuata?enzymes generate jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine, jasmonoyl-L-leucine, and jasmonoyl-L-valine. The enzyme from?A. thaliana?could catalyse the addition of many different amino acids to jasmonate?in vitro?[1,4,5]. While the abundant form of jasmonate in plants is (-)-jasmonate, the active form of jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine is (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine. |
