The mechanisms by which plants regulate levels of
the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are complex and not fully
understood. One level of regulation appears to be the synthesis and
hydrolysis of IAA conjugates, which function in both the permanent
inactivation and temporary storage of auxin. Similar to free IAA,
certain IAA-amino acid conjugates inhibit root elongation. We have
tested the ability of 19 IAA-L-amino acid conjugates
to inhibit Arabidopsis seedling root growth. We have also
determined the ability of purified glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusions of four Arabidopsis
IAA-amino acid hydrolases (ILR1, IAR3, ILL1, and ILL2) to release free
IAA by cleaving these conjugates. Each hydrolase cleaves a subset of IAA-amino acid conjugates in vitro, and GST-ILR1, GST-IAR3,
and GST-ILL2 have Km values that suggest
physiological relevance. In vivo inhibition of root
elongation correlates with in vitro hydrolysis rates for
each conjugate, suggesting that the identified hydrolases generate the
bioactivity of the conjugates.
