“…In plants, a representative example for crosstalk of SUMOylation and ubiquitination involves the SUMOylation E3 ligase SIZ1 and the ubiquitination E3 ligase COP1 (CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1) ( Figure 1 B). SIZ1 plays a role in multiple biological processes, such as phosphate deficiency responses, abiotic stress, ABA signaling, development, flowering time, and immunity ( Miura et al., 2005 , Catala et al., 2007 , Lee et al., 2007 , Jin and Hasegawa, 2008 , Miura et al., 2009 , Hammoudi et al., 2018 , Rytz et al., 2018 , Liu et al., 2019 , Niu et al., 2019 ). COP1 forms a complex with SPA1 (SUPPRESSOR OF PHYA-105 1) to function as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that acts as a key negative regulator of photomorphogenesis and plays an important role in plant immunity ( Lau and Deng, 2012 , Hofmann, 2015 , Zhu et al., 2015 , Hoecker, 2017 , Lim et al., 2018 ).…”
