摘要

The activation of immune Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) is one of the earliest cellular responses following pathogen attack leading to the phosphorylation of appropriate cytosolic or nuclear targets to regulate cellular processes. In this work, we show that the Arabidopsis nuclear protein DEK2 is a target of MPK6 and regulator of plant defense against bacterial and fungal plant pathogens. Transcriptomic analysis unveils that AtDEK2 modulates transcription of defense-related genes, as well as genes associated with hormone synthesis and signaling. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) analysis reveals that DEK2 potentially binds to TGGGC(C/T) motifs of ZNF, bZIP, WRKY and TCP transcription factors. DEK2 orchestrates diverse chromatin-related processes. Our findings suggest that DEK2 is recruited to specific chromatin regions by transcription factors and functions as a reader of the bivalent histone mark H3K4me3K27me3.
