Abstract
Plant nitrite reductase (NiR) catalyzes the reduction of nitrite to ammonium. We examined if NiR activity is regulated by sumoylation, and found NiR was not sumoylated by E3 small ubiquitin-related modifier ligase AtSIZ1. However, its transcript level decreased in the siz1-2 mutant, indicating that AtSIZ1 does not directly control NiR activity.
