Research Progress on SUMOylation in Plant-Pathogen Interactions

doi:10.11983/CBB25106

Abstract

Abstract: SUMOylation is a crucial post-translational modification in plants, playing a pivotal role in plant immune regulation by mediating substrate protein functions, the activation and transduction of immune signals, and hormonal signaling networks. This review systematically summarizes recent research advances in SUMOylation during plant-pathogen interactions, focusing on the enzymatic cascade mechanisms of the SUMOylation system, the involvement of SUMOylation in plant immune regulation, and the interference/activation of the SUMOylation system by pathogen effector proteins. We highlight the SUMOylation-mediated regulatory networks of plant immunity and provide a reference for developing novel disease resistance strategies in crops based on SUMO modification.

Key words: SUMOylation, pathogen, immune signaling, hormonal signaling, effector protein
