Authors identify that sumoylation is essential for viability in Arabidopsis. Loss of Arabidopsis SAE2 (SUMO activating enzyme), SCE1 (SUMO conjugating enzyme), or double mutations in SUMO1 and SUMO2 leads to embryonic lethal in early embryo development. Heat-induced SUMO1 and SUMO2 conjugation is mainly facilitated by SUMO E3 ligase AtSIZ1.

The Arabidopsis SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 controls phosphate deficiency responses. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102 (2005) 7760-7765. In this study, the authors identify that AtSIZ1 is a SUMO E3 ligase. The mutation in AtSIZ1 caused hyper-response to phosphate deficiency, including cessation of primary root growth, enhanced lateral root and root hair development, and increased anthocyanin accumulation. The work reveals that the MYB transcription factor PHR1 is one of sumoylation target proteins.

SIZ1 small ubiquitin-like modifier E3 ligase facilitates basal thermotolerance in Arabidopsis independent of salicylic acid. Plant Physiol 142 (2006) 1548-1558. The work described in this paper reveals that AtSIZ1 positively regulates basal, not required, thermotolerance. Because reduction of hyperaccumulation of salicylic acid in siz1 by NahG still leads to increase in thermosensitivity, this regulation is independent of salicylic acid signaling.

SIZ1-mediated sumoylation of ICE1 controls CBF3/DREB1A expression and freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis. Plant Cell 19 (2007) 1403-1414. In this paper, the authors report that the siz1 mutation caused freezing and chilling sensitivity because of repression of CBF/DREB1s and their regulon gene expression. In vitro and in vivo assay revealed that the MYC-like transcription factor ICE1 (inducer of CBF expression) was sumoylated at K393 to activate and/or stabilize ICE1. The substitution of K393 to R repressed CBF3/DREB1A and its regulon gene expression and decreased freezing tolerance.

In this paper, biochemical analyses revealed that Arabidopsis sumoylation components have conjugation and deconjugation activity. AtSUMO1, 2, and 3 conjugated to ScPCNA (a yeast substrate) by using AtSAE1, AtSAE2, and AtSCE1 recombinant proteins. The conjugation was dissociated by AtULP1C, AtULP1D, and AtESD4.

In this paper, the authors identify ULP1 family SUMO proteases in Arabidopsis. The catalytic domain of ULP1s show high similarity with each other and yeast Ulp1, but N-terminal region of these proteases share limited sequence identity. The N-terminal region plays a key role in not only modulating the enzyme activity but also in specifying SUMO proteins.

In this paper, authors report that NUA, nuclear pore anchor, is a 237-kDa protein, which interacts with AtESD4 at nuclear envelope to regulate desumoylation activity of the SUMO protease. The nua mutation increased SUMO-conjugates and promoted early flowering as did the esd4 mutation.

Plant J 49 (2007) 79-90. The work reveals that siz1 mutant plants exhibited constitutive systemic-acquired resistance characterized by hyperaccumulation of SA, constitutive expression of pathogenesis-related genes, and increased resistance to bacteria pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. Because pad4 is epistatic to siz1, SIZ1 negatively controls PAD4-mediated TIR-NBS-LRR-type R gene signaling. However, SIZ1 is not involved in jasmonic acid signaling or defense against Botrytis cinerea.

Structural analysis of Xanthomonas XopD provides insights into substrate specificity of ubiquitin-like protein proteases. J Biol Chem 282 (2007) 6773-6782. In this paper, the authors identified the contact residues between plant SUMOs and the SUMO protease XopD, a type III secretion system effector in Xanthomonas. These residues are different from those of yeast SUMO. Because XopD only recognizes plant SUMOs, this difference contributes to the specificity of XopD.
