Jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is the key signal in defense of plants against herbivores. While the biosynthesis of JA-Ile is well resolved, inactivation of JA-Ile was thought to occur exclusively via hydroxylation pathway. Here, we show an alternative pathway in JA-Ile inactivation that is dependent on the activity of JIH1 protein: this enzyme hydrolyses JA-Ile to its inactive precursor jasmonic acid (JA). Our results demonstrate how plants switch off their defense signaling and prepare for a new attack from herbivores in the nature.
Experiments presented in this paper were conducted under direct support of Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany (previous workplace of I. Galis ~March 2011).
