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