AbstractNucleocytoplasmic trafficking of many cellular proteins is regulated by nuclear import/export signals as well as post‐translational modifications such as covalent conjugation of ubiquitin and small ubiquitin‐related modifiers (SUMOs). Ubiquitination and SUMOylation are rapid and reversible ways to modulate the intracellular localisation and ...

Modification of Ran GTPase-activating Protein by the Small Ubiquitin-related Modifier SUMO-1 Requires Ubc9, an E2-type Ubiquitin-conjugating Enzyme Homologue [PDF]
Covalent modification of the Ran GTPase-activating protein RanGAP1 with the ubiquitin-related protein SUMO-1 promotes its association with Nup358, a component of the cytoplasmic fibrils emanating from the nuclear pore complex (1,2). In Xenopus egg extracts, Nup358 can be found in a complex with Ubc9 (3), a structural homologue of the E2-type ubiquitin ...

Protein Inhibitor of Activated Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 Interacts with the N-Terminal Domain of Mineralocorticoid Receptor and Represses Its Transcriptional Activity: Implication of Small Ubiquitin-Related Modifier 1 Modification [PDF]
Abstract Molecular mechanisms underlying mineralocorticoid receptor (MR)-mediated gene expression are not fully understood but seem to largely depend upon interactions with specific coregulators. To identify novel human MR (hMR) molecular partners, yeast two-hybrid screenings performed using the N-terminal domain as bait, allowed us to ...

The human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) immediate-early (IE) 1 protein undergoes SUMOylation events during the infectious process. In the present work, we report that Lys-802 (K-802) of IE1 from HHV-6 variant B is the only target residue capable of conjugation to SUMO-1/SMT3C/Sentrin-1, SUMO-2/SMT3A/Sentrin-3 or SUMO-3/SMT3B/Sentrin-2 as determined by ...

Ubiquitin-like Small Archaeal Modifier Proteins (SAMPs) in Haloferax volcanii
Archaea, one of three major evolutionary lineages of life, encode proteasomes highly related to those of eukaryotes. In contrast, archaeal ubiquitin-like proteins are less conserved and not known to function in protein conjugation.

The small ubiquitin-related modifier-1 (SUMO-1) is a 101-amino acid, ~12 kDa protein that is 18% identical to ubiquitin. Posttranslational covalent tagging of proteins with SUMO-1 (SUMOylation) serves many functions. For example, regulation of protein stability and modulation of transcriptional activation. However, very little work has been done on the

The role of Schizosaccharomyces pombe SUMO ligases in genome stability [PDF]
SUMOylation is a post-translational modification that affects a large number of proteins, many of which are nuclear. While the role of SUMOylation is beginning to be elucidated, it is clear that understanding the mechanisms that regulate the process is ...

The ubiquitin system and jasmonate signaling [PDF]
The ubiquitin (Ub) system is involved in most, if not all, biological processes in eukaryotes. The major specificity determinants of this system are the E3 ligases, which bind and ubiquitinate specific sets of proteins and are thereby responsible for ...

Posttranslational modifications of GLUT4 affect its subcellular localization and translocation [PDF]
The facilitative glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) is expressed in adipose and muscle and plays a vital role in whole body glucose homeostasis. In the absence of insulin, only ~1% of cellular GLUT4 is present at the plasma membrane, with the vast ...

Proteotoxic stress reprograms the chromatin landscape of SUMO modification [PDF]
The small ubiquitin-like modifier 2 (SUMO-2) is required for survival when cells are exposed to treatments that induce proteotoxic stress by causing the accumulation of misfolded proteins.
