Reversible conjugation of the small ubiquitin modifier (SUMO) peptide to proteins (SUMOylation) plays important roles in cellular processes in eukaryotes. Although more than 200 SUMO target proteins have been characterized in yeasts and animals, only very few SUMO targets are known in plants. Here, to identify putative SUM1 associating proteins in Arabidopsis we developed a proteomics-type protocol employing a His-GST-AtSUM1 column conjugated to Affi-gel beads with total protein extracts from 3?4 week old seedlings. AtSUM1 binding proteins and/or sumoylated targets were obtained by a change in pH of the eluant and identified by mass spectrometry. Fifteen candidate SUMO-modified proteins have so far been identified. Candidate proteins were analyzed by a split ubiquitination assay in yeast and additionally by split-luciferase complement assays in planta to confirm binding specificity and activity to AtSUM1, and productive sumoylation through in vivo assays in E. coli. Among proteins found reliably sumoylated are AtMYB31 (transcription factor), ACS7 (1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase 7), and Rho GDI1 (Rho GDPdissociation inhibitor family protein). These proteins will provide a basis for studying functions of SUMOylation in the regulation of diverse processes in Arabidopsis.
