SUMO E3 Ligase SIZ1-mediated SUMOylation of LBD29 positively regulates lateral root formation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Therefore, it is of great significance to uncover the molecular mechanism of lateral root development in plants for understanding plant life process and improving plant adaptation to environment. As an important post-translational modification of small protein types, small ubiquitin-like modifier is involved in many biological processes such as transcriptional regulation, cell cycle regulation, and immune response.

SUMO E3 ligase plays a key role in the SUMO process and plays an important role in plant growth and development. In Arabidopsis thaliana, SIZ1 encodes a SUMO E3 ligase, which plays an important role in plant life, especially in stress response. We analyzed the expression sites of SIZ1 and found that it was obviously expressed in lateral roots, especially in the nucleus of lateral roots.
