Research Abstract |
Scrupulously designed cell cycle regulation is the fundamental mechanism for development of higher organisms. SUMO-mediated posttranslational modification appeared to be involved in the developmental regulation since the fact that a mutation in SUMO E3 ligase HPY2 affect cell cycle progression have reported in Arabidopsis. However, further analyses are needed to understand the molecular mechanism. In this study, we analyzed cell cycle regulators, e.g. CDKs, AURs and RBR on the SUMO-mediated cell cycle regulation context. We established experimental conditions to express and purify these proteins. Our semi-in vitro SUMOylation assays showed that the cell cycle regulators are SUMOylated proteins. Then we identified SUMOylation sites for the substrates. Furthermore, we generated binary vectors harboring SUMO-null version of the regulators and introduced into their mutants plants. The mutant version lose their functions, suggesting that the SUMOylation in essential for their functions.
