The Arabidopsis SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 mediates the temperature dependent trade-off between plant immunity and growth


ABSTRACT: Increased ambient temperature is widely considered to be inhibitory to basal and effector-triggered plant immunity. For example, SNC1-dependent auto-immunity in Arabidopsis results in enhanced basal resistance at 22ºC, which is fully suppressed at 28ºC. The sumoylation mutant siz1 also displays auto-immunity at 22ºC. We find that its auto-immunity is sustained at 28ºC while still requiring PAD4/EDS1 and SNC1 function. Moreover, its rosette size does not fully recover at 28ºC, which is normally seen for SNC1 gain-of-function mutants. Related, thermomorphogenesis is also compromised in the SUMO mutants. This role of SIZ1 in growth regulation does not depend on PAD4 or SNC1. In corroboration, SUMO mutants show a global delay in their transcriptional profile for thermosensitive growth regulators and these differentially expressed genes show an overrepresentation for PIF4 genomic targets. This transcription factor (TF) PIF4 is the central regulator of thermomorphogenesis, while also inhibiting plant immunity at 28ºC. Our findings thus reveal that SUMO conjugation has a central role in PIF4 regulation prioritizing growth over immunity at elevated temperatures. Such molecular understanding of how temperature affects growth over immunity is important to mitigate the effects of climate change on agriculture This experiment we have examined how gene expression is affected in two SUMO mutants (siz1-2; sumo1 amiR-SUMO1 [aka. sumo1/2KD] ) when the plants are placed at 28C constant ambient temperature, which is a condition normally used to induce thermomorphogenesis. We used as control the pad1-4 background, as the siz1-2 and sumo1/2KD mutants normailly suffer from constitutive defence signalling due hyperaccumulation of SA, which is suppressed by introgression of pad4 in these backgrounds.
