AtSIZ1 sumoylates DNA methyltransferase CMT3 through a direct interaction
Sumoylation enhances the DNA methylation activity of CMT3
Genome methylation level is down-regulated in siz1-2 and cmt3 mutants than wild type
Genome methylation level in siz1-2 mutants is lower compared to that in cmt3 mutants
The methylation of CMT3 target genes is regulated by AtSIZ1-mediated sumoylation of CMT3
