These viruses encode a multifunctional protein, Rep, which is essential for viral replication, induces the accumulation of the host replication machinery, and interacts with several host proteins, including PCNA and the SUMO E2 conjugation enzyme (SCE1). Posttranslational modification of PCNA by ubiquitin or SUMO plays an essential role in the switching of PCNA between interacting partners during DNA metabolism processes (e.g., replication, recombination, and repair, etc.). In yeast, PCNA sumoylation has been associated with DNA repair involving homologous recombination (HR). Previously, we reported that ectopic Rep expression results in very specific changes in the sumoylation pattern of plant cells. In this work, we show, using a reconstituted sumoylation system in Escherichia coli, that tomato PCNA is sumoylated at two residues, K254 and K164, and that coexpression of the geminivirus protein Rep suppresses sumoylation at these lysines. Finally, we confirm that PCNA is sumoylated in planta and that Rep also interferes with PCNA sumoylation in plant cells PB ASM Journals YR 2018 FD 2018-06-27 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/29952 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/29952 LA eng NO Arroyo-Mateos M, Sabarit B, Maio F, Sánchez-Durán MA, Rosas-Díaz T, Prins M, RuizAlbert J, Luna AP, van den Burg HA, Bejarano ER. 2018.
