Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: SlSIZ1
• Gene Name: E3 SUMO-protein ligase SIZ1
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• SUMO E3 Ligase SlSIZ1 Facilitates Heat Tolerance in Tomato.
• Overexpression of SIZ1 SUMO E3 ligase (SlSIZ1) in tomato could enhance the tolerance to heat stress in tomato.
• SlSIZ1 could decrease the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce some genes of HSF and HSP transcription.
• Yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays showed that SlSIZ1 could interact with SlHsfA1 to mediate the SUMOylation of SlHsfA1 and consequently enhance thermotolerance of tomato.
• In conclusion, overexpression of SlSIZ1 enhanced heat tolerance by regulating the activities of HsfA1 and increasing the content Hsp70.
