Die Bildung des Phytohormons Jasmonsäure unterliegt einer strengen Kontrolle und ist zeitlich wie Gewebe-abhängig sehr genau reguliert. Hinweise auf einen möglichen Regulationsmechanismus durch reversible Phosphorylierung ergaben sich aus der Röntgenstrukturanalyse der Oxophytodiensäurereduktase 3 (OPR3), die einen limitierenden Schritt der Jasmonsäurebiosynthese katalysiert. OPR3 liegt hier als Dimer vor, welches als inaktive Form der OPR3 in...
