Fine-tuning of SUMOylation modulates drought tolerance

Q. Guan, X. Li, S.-X. Zhou, L. Lu, H. Dang, Z. Liu, H. Li, B. Chu, P. Chen, Z. Ma, S. Zhao, S. Van Nocker, F. Ma

This study shows that both increased and decreased SUMOylation enhance drought tolerance in apple by modulating MdDREB2A stability through SUMOylation and ubiquitination.

Short sequence motif dynamics in the SARS-CoV-2 genome suggest a role for cytosine deamination in CpG reduction.

M. Sadykov, T. Mourier, Q. Guan, A. Pain

The paper analyzes SARS-CoV-2 genomic data to show increasing C-to-U substitutions over time, suggesting APOBEC-mediated RNA editing reduces CpG frequency to evade ZAP-mediated degradation.
