Control of chloroplast integrity by the jasmonate signaling pathway is linked to growth-defense balance

ABSTRACT: The lipid-derived signal jasmonate (JA) controls growth-defense balance by modulating the abundance of JAZ proteins that repress MYC transcription factors. In Arabidopsis, the JAZ-MYC regulon also promotes JA-induced degreening of detached leaves under conditions of dark-induced starvation. These observations, together with the finding that JA biosynthesis and signaling mutants do not exhibit obvious defects in natural senescence, have confounded a satisfactory explanation of the physiological significance of JA-induced chlorosis. Using intact Arabidopsis plants grown under normal laboratory conditions, we manipulated JAZ abundance to investigate JA-induced degreening as a component of the leaf growth-defense syndrome. A jaz decuple mutant (jazD) lacking most JAZs exhibited strong growth-defense tradeoffs without visible symptoms of senescence. Further depletion of JAZ by treatment of jazD with coronatine recapitulated the major hallmarks of senescence, including the loss of chlorophyll and photosynthetic capacity, turnover of chloroplast proteins and lipids, and transition of chloroplasts to gerontoplasts. The data highlight the regulation of senescence by jasmonate signaling along the growth-defense continuum.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 reprograms primary and secondary metabolic pathways at high levels of jasmonate defense

Project description:The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) stimulates innate immunity by triggering the degradation of JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins, which in turn reconfigure metabolic pathways to produce various defense-related molecules and cellular structures. However, the mechanisms by which JA shifts metabolism to thwart invading organisms remain largely unknown. Here, we employed a JAZ-deficient mutant (jazD) that exhibits heightened chemical defense and strong growth and reproduction inhibition to interrogate this question. Characterization of a genetic suppressor of jazD that rescues its growth phenotype identified a mutation in CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE 8 (CDK8) as the causal mutation. Genetic epistasis analyses revealed that CDK8 in jazD not only contributes to its robust resistance to insect herbivory and necrotrophic pathogens, but also imposes strong inhibitory effects on shoot growth and seed production. Metabolic phenotypes of jazD cdk8 discerned from transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses showed that CDK8 specifically boosts JA-mediated anti-pathogen branch of specialized metabolism. CDK8-mediated resource allocation to defense sinks upon JAZ deficiency was associated with alteration in central carbon metabolism, upregulation of respiration, as well as increased production of proteinogenic amino acids. Our data establish CDK8 as a key regulator of defense-associated primary and secondary metabolism under JA-mediated stress conditions and provide a potential approach to unlink anti-insect defense to growth and reproduction.

Gene expression profiling shows that a jaz decuple mutation (jazD) promotes expression of defense-related genes while inhibiting expression of growth-related genes

Project description:The decuple jaz mutation (jazD) affects plant growth and defense. We used RNA-sequencing to query the transcriptomes of a jaz quintuple mutant (jazQ) and jazD, and examined how these mutations alter the expression of growth- and defense-associated genes in comparison to wild-type Col-0 plants. The data highlight how jasmonate pathways contribute to growth and defense.

A pair of NUCLEAR FACTOR Y transcription factors act as positive regulators in jasmonate signaling and disease resistance in Arabidopsis

Project description:The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) regulates plant growth and immunity by orchestrating a genome-wide transcriptional reprogramming. In the resting stage, JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins act as main repressors to regulate the expression of JA-responsive genes in the JA signaling pathway. However, the mechanisms underlying de-repression of JA-responsive genes in response to JA treatment remain elusive. Here, we report two nuclear factor Y transcription factors NF- YB2 and NF-YB3 (thereafter YB2 and YB3) play key roles in such de-repression in Arabidopsis. YB2 and YB3 function redundantly and positively regulate plant resistance against necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea ， which are specially required for transcriptional activation of a set of JA-responsive genes following inoculation. Furthermore, YB2 and YB3 modulated their expression through direct occupancy and interaction with histone demethylase Ref6 to remove repressive histone modifications. Moreover, YB2 and YB3 physically interacted with JAZ repressorsand negatively modulated their abundance, which in turn attenuated the inhibition of JAZ proteins on the transcription of JA- responsive genes, thereby activating JA response and promoting disease resistance. Overall, our study reveals the positive regulator of YB2 and YB3 in JA signaling by positively regulating transcription of JA-responsive genes and negatively modulating the abundance of JAZ proteins.

Expression profiling of wild-type Arabidopsis and an activation-tagged jaz7-1D line.

Project description:Jasmonate (JA) signaling plays a key role in mediating both resistance and susceptibility to the root-infecting fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. Within this system, the roles of the JA-signaling repressor gene family of JASMONATE ZIM-domain (JAZ) genes had not been investigated. By screening JAZ T DNA insertion lines for altered resistance or susceptibility to F. oxysporum, we identified a JAZ7 mutant (jaz7-1D) highly susceptible to F. oxysporum infection. Further analyses revealed jaz7-1D exhibits constitutively active JAZ7 expression, enhanced expression of JA-defense marker genes, and increased sensitivity to JA-inhibition of root elongation. To further explore altered JA-signaling and JA-responses in this mutant, we use whole transcriptome profiling of jaz7-1D versus wild-type (Col-0) plants after mock/control and JA treatment.

Arabidopsis ECAP is a New Adaptor Protein that Connects JAZ Repressors with TPR2 Co-repressor to Suppress Jasmonate-Responsive Anthocyanin Accumulation

Project description:Suppression mechanism employed by transcriptional repressors is commonly existed in diverse phytohormone signaling. In Arabidopsis thaliana, JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins act as transcriptional repressors and involve in different aspects of the JA signaling network, through recruiting general co-repressors TOPLESS (TPL) and TPL-related proteins (TPRs). To accomplish overlapping but also finely separated functions of JAZ proteins, specificadaptor proteins are employed in JA signaling. Novel Interactor of JAZ (NINJA) is an adaptor protein mediates gene repression in JA-dependent root growth inhibition and pathogen defense. However, the adaptor protein(s) modulate other JA responsive biological processes is still a mystery. In this study, we demonstrated that a previously uncharacterized protein, ECAP(EAR-Containing Adaptor Protein) that connects JAZ6/8 and TPR to repress JA-mediated anthocyanin accumulation at low JA level. We also found ECAP-mediated transcriptional repression might play a general role in multiple aspects of plant development and responses to environments.

Novel JAZ co-operativity and unexpected JA dynamics underpin Arabidopsis defence responses to Pseudomonas syringae infection

Project description:Pathogens target phytohormone signalling pathways to promote disease. Plants deploy salicylic acid (SA) mediated defences against biotrophs. Pathogens antagonise SA immunity by activating jasmonate signalling, e.g. Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 produces coronatine (COR), a jasmonate (JA) mimic. This study found unexpected dynamics between SA, JA and COR and co-operation between JAZ jasmonate repressor proteins during DC3000 infection. JA did not accumulate until late in the infection process and was higher in leaves challenged with coronatine deficient P. syringae or in the more resistant JA receptor mutant coi1. JAZ regulation was complex and coronatine alone was insufficient to sustainably induce JAZs.

JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN proteins engage Polycomb chromatin modifiers to modulate Jasmonate signaling in Arabidopsis [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins are key regulators in the JA signaling pathway and function to repress the expression of JA-responsive genes. We found that JAZ proteins directly interact with several chromatin-associated Polycomb proteins to mediate repressive chromatin modifications at part of JA-responsive genes and thus their transcriptional repression in Arabidopsis.
