General Information

  • Identifier IPR034561
  • Description Negative regulator of systemic acquired resistance SNI1

Abstract

SNI1 was isolated in a screen for negative regulators of NPR1, a transcriptional coactivator of plant pathogen defence gene PR1 [ 1 ]. SNl1 has been shown to cooperate with the transcription repressor CBNAC, which binds to cis-elements on the PR1 promoter, to suppress PR1 expression [ 2 ]. SNI1 also regulates DNA damage sensor proteins RAD17 and ATR, suggesting that DNA damage responses is an intrinsic component of the plant immune responses. SNI1 is a subunit of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) 5/6 complex involved in DNA damage responses [ 3 ].
