Broad Spectrum Identification of Cellular Small Ubiquitin-related Modifier (SUMO) Substrate Proteins* [PDF]
Reversible covalent modification of proteins with a small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) is emerging as an important system contributing to dynamic regulation of protein function. To enhance our understanding of the cell regulatory systems impacted by

Small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-1, SUMO-2/3 and SUMOylation are involved with centromeric heterochromatin of chromosomes 9 and 1 and proteins of the synaptonemal complex during meiosis in men [PDF]
BACKGROUND Post-transcriptional modification by SUMOylation is involved in numerous cellular processes including human spermatogenesis. For human male meiosis, we previously showed that the small ubiquitin-related modifier-1 (SUMO-1) protein localizes to

Regulation of Homeodomain-interacting Protein Kinase 2 (HIPK2) Effector Function through Dynamic Small Ubiquitin-related Modifier-1 (SUMO-1) Modification* [PDF]
Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) is involved in transcriptional regulation, growth suppression, and apoptosis. Previous reports showed that HIPK2 can signal cell death via p53, and independently of p53 by activating the c-Jun NH2-terminal

Recent studies have suggested that the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) conjugation pathway may play an important role in intrinsic antiviral resistance and thus for repression of herpesviral infections. In particular, it was shown that the herpes simplex virus type-1 regulatory protein ICP0 acts as a SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL ...

Functional Heterogeneity of Small Ubiquitin-related Protein Modifiers SUMO-1 versus SUMO-2/3 [PDF]
Post-translational modification marked by the covalent attachment of the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO-1/SMT3C has been implicated in a wide variety of cellular processes. Recently, two cDNAs encoding proteins related to SUMO-1 have been identified in human and mouse. The functions and regulation of these proteins, known as SUMO-2/SMT3A and SUMO-3/SMT3B,

Tripartite Motif-Containing Protein 28 Is a Small Ubiquitin-Related Modifier E3 Ligase and Negative Regulator of IFN Regulatory Factor 7 [PDF]
Abstract IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) is a potent transcription factor of type I IFNs and IFN-stimulated genes and is known as the master regulator of type I IFN-dependent immune responses. Because excessive responses could harm the host, IRF7 itself is delicately regulated at the transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational ...

A Chemical and Enzymatic Approach to Study Site-Specific Sumoylation. [PDF]
A variety of cellular pathways are regulated by protein modifications with ubiquitin-family proteins. SUMO, the Small Ubiquitin-like MOdifier, is covalently attached to lysine on target proteins via a cascade reaction catalyzed by E1, E2, and E3 enzymes.

RanBP2-Mediated SUMOylation Promotes Human DNA Polymerase Lambda Nuclear Localization and DNA Repair [PDF]
Cellular DNA is under constant attack by a wide variety of agents, both endogenous and exogenous. To counteract DNA damage, human cells have a large collection of DNA repair factors. Among them, DNA polymerase lambda (Polλ) stands out for its versatility,
