A proposed model for SUMOylation of HopB1 and HopG1 in plant infection. A SUMOylation-deficient mutant (2KR) of HopB1 triggers an amplified cell death response by cleaving the BAK1 transmembrane receptor that is detrimental to P. syringae virulence. A similar 2KR mutant of HopG1 fails to damage mitochondria (represented by green dots for active mitochondria and grey dots for inactive), ultimately leading to a reduced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). S: SUMO; HT: high temperature. Reproduced from Figure 4I.
