Chromatin-Associated SUMOylation Controls the Transcriptional Switch between Plant Development and Heat Stress Responses


ABSTRACT: The post-translational protein modification known as SUMOylation has conserved roles in the heat stress responses of various species. The functional connection between the global regulation of gene expression and chromatin-associated SUMOylation in plant cells isunknown. Here, we uncovereda genome-wide relationship between chromatin-associated SUMOylation and transcriptional switches in Arabidopsis thaliana grown at room temperature, exposed to heat stress, and exposed to heat stress followed by recovery. The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-associated chromatin sites, characterized by whole-genome ChIP-seq, were generally associated with active chromatin markers. In response to heat stress, chromatin-associated SUMO signals increased at promoter-transcriptional start site regions and decreased in gene bodies. RNAseqanalysissupportedthe role ofchromatin-associatedSUMOylationin transcriptionalactivation duringrapid responses to high temperature. Changes inSUMO signals on chromatinwere associated with the upregulation ofheat-responsivegenesandthedownregulationofgrowth-relatedgenes.DisruptionoftheSUMOligasegene SIZ1 abolished SUMO signals on chromatin and attenuated rapid transcriptional responses to heat stress. The SUMO signal peaks were enriched in DNA elements recognized by distinct groups of transcription factors under different temperature conditions. These observations provide evidence that chromatin-associated SUMOylation regulates the transcriptional switch between development and heat stress response in plant cells.
