Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, JAZ subtype-selective agonists, which selectively activate useful functions among diverse physiological roles by jasmonic acids signaling, are developed based on coronatine which is a mimic of jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine with potent activities. A lead compound used for JAZ selective agonist development was found using an evaluation system of pull-down assay system COI1-JAZ interaction using JAZ fragment peptide which is a binding domain with COI1 of JAZ. Based on the knowledge, we designed several compounds that are thought to be more selective improvement by in silico docking study. By a similar pull-down assay, two subtype-selective agonists that bind to some of JAZ were found among them.
