#JAZ proteins

3 public questions tagged with this topic.

Degradation of JAZ proteins occurs via:

26S proteasome (C) is correct here. This is core Jasmonic acid: once you know the definition or pathway step, 26S proteasome is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Lysosome; B) Autophagy; D) Peroxisome. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

JAZ proteins inhibit which transcription factor?

Answer: B) MYC2. For Jasmonic acid, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) ARF; C) NAC; D) WRKY. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

JAZ proteins function as:

Go with C — Repressors of JA signaling. Under Jasmonic acid, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) Transcription activators; B) Hormone receptors; D) Enzymes. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.
