Title: SIZ1mediated Sumoylation of ICE1 Controls CBF3DREB1A Expression and Freezing Tolerance in Arabidopsi
1SIZ1-mediated Sumoylation of ICE1 Controls
CBF3/DREB1A Expression and Freezing Tolerance in
Arabidopsis
Miura et al. (2007) Plant Cell
2ABSTRACT
Frosts cause substantial agricultural yield
losses, particularly if a freezing event occurs
during reproductive development. Low
temperatures also substantially limit the
geographic locations where crops can be grown.
SIZ1 is a SUMO E3 ligase that facilitates
conjugation of SUMO to protein substrates (Miura
et al., 2005). siz1-2 and siz1-3 T-DNA insertion
alleles that caused freezing and chilling
sensitivities were complemented genetically by
expressing SIZ1, indicating that the SIZ1 is a
controller of low temperature adaptation in
plants. Cold-induced expression of CBF/DREB1,
particularly of CBF3/DREB1A, and of the regulon
genes was repressed by siz1. siz1 did not affect
expression of ICE1, which encodes a MYC
transcription factor that is a controller of
CBF3/DREB1A.
3A K393R substitution in ICE1 (ICE1(K393R))
blocked SIZ1-mediated sumoylation in vitro and in
protoplasts identifying the K393 residue as the
principal site of SUMO conjugation.
SIZ1-dependent sumoylation of ICE1 in protoplasts
was moderately induced by cold. Sumoylation of
recombinant ICE1 reduced polyubiquitination of
the protein in vitro. ICE1(K393R) expression in
wild-type plants repressed cold-induced
CBF3/DREB1A expression and increased freezing
sensitivity. Furthermore, expression of
ICE1(K393R) induced transcript accumulation of
MYB15, which encodes a MYB transcription factor
that is a negative regulator of CBF/DREB1.
SIZ1-dependent sumoylation of ICE1 may activate
and/or stabilize the protein, facilitating
expression of CBF3/DREB1A and repression of
MYB15, leading to low temperature tolerance.
