So happy to share the outcome of an incredible team effort! In this paper we present an Atlas describing how SUMO-PTM components coordinate stress responses in Arabidopsis root cells. Huge congratulations to everyone involved! Amazing work all around! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Elucidating tissue and subcellular specificity of the entire SUMO network reveals how stress responses are fine-tuned in a eukaryote
A spatial map of an entire protein modification system reveals tissue and subcellular diversification of SUMO components.

New study with @petrollromy.bsky.social @borglab.bsky.social traces the evolution of epigenetic silencing in plants. Deep conservation of PRC2-mediated H3K27me3 marks across green algae suggest ancient, conserved networks of gene repression.

The Expansion and Diversification of Epigenetic Regulatory Networks Underpins Major Transitions in the Evolution of Land Plants
Abstract. Epigenetic silencing is essential for regulating gene expression and cellular diversity in eukaryotes. While DNA and H3K9 methylation silence tra

We have submitted a pre-print to BioRxiv. It is describes SUMO post-translational modification in action in Arabidopsis roots. All components, their expression, protein abundance, behaviour under stress...! super proud of the team work. Send us comments! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Elucidating tissue and sub-cellular specificity of the entire SUMO network reveals how stress responses are fine-tuned in a eukaryote
SUMOylation is essential in plant and animal cells, but it remains unknown how SUMO components act in concert to modify specific targets in response to environmental stresses. In this study we charact...
