Brassinosteroids (BRs) play crucial roles in plant development, but little is known of mechanisms that integrate environmental cues into BR signaling. Conjugation to the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is emerging as an important mechanism to transduce environmental cues into cellular signaling. In this study, we show that SUMOylation of BZR1, a key transcription factor of BR signaling, provides a conduit for environmental influence to modulate growth during stress. SUMOylation stabilizes BZR1 in the nucleus by inhibiting its interaction with BIN2 kinase. During salt stress, Arabidopsis plants arrest growth through deSUMOylation of BZR1 in the cytoplasm by promoting the accumulation of the BZR1 targeting SUMO protease, ULP1a. ULP1a mutants are salt tolerant and insensitive to the BR inhibitor, brassinazole. BR treatment stimulates ULP1a degradation, allowing SUMOylated BZR1 to accumulate and promote growth. This study uncovers a mechanism for integrating environmental cues into BR signaling to shape growth.
油菜素内酯(Brassinosteroids,BRs)在植物的发育过程中扮演着非常重要的角色,但是将环境信号整合到BR信号通路上的分子机制还不清楚。结合到小的类泛素修饰因子SUMO是一个大家正在逐渐认识到的将环境信号转化为细胞层面信号的重要机制。本文中,作者的研究显示一个BR信号关键转录因子BZR1的SUMO化修饰为植物在胁迫时提供一个整合环境信号以调整植物生长的渠道。SUMO化修饰能够通过抑制BZR1蛋白与BIN2酶的相互作用稳定核中的BZR1蛋白。在盐胁迫时,拟南芥植株会通过促进靶向SUMO蛋白酶ULP1a的BZR1的积累,从而使得胞质中BZR1蛋白去SUMO化修饰,停止生长。ULP1a突变体对于盐具有耐受性,并且对于BR抑制剂芸苔素唑(Brassinazole)不敏感。BR处理能够刺激ULP1a的降解,使得SUMO化的BZR1蛋白得以积累,促进生长。本文的研究揭示了一个将环境信号整合到BR信号通路上,从而调控植物生长的机制。
