SUMOylation is required for glycine-induced increases in AMPA receptor surface expression (ChemLTP) in hippocampal neurons. [PDF]
Multiple pathways participate in the AMPA receptor trafficking that underlies long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission. Here we demonstrate that protein SUMOylation is required for insertion of the GluA1 AMPAR subunit following transient ...

Intracellular delivery of peptides via association with ubiquitin or SUMO-1 coupled to protein transduction domains [PDF]
Background We previously developed small hybrid proteins consisting of SUMO-1 linked to an heptapeptide fused to the Tat protein transduction domain (PTD).

Expression, Localization of SUMO-1, and Analyses of Potential SUMOylated Proteins in Bubalus bubalis Spermatozoa [PDF]
Mature spermatozoa have highly condensed DNA that is essentially silent both transcriptionally and translationally. Therefore, post translational modifications are very important for regulating sperm motility, morphology, and for male fertility in ...

A Photo-Crosslinking Approach to Identify Class II SUMO-1 Binders
The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is involved in various cellular processes and mediates known non-covalent protein-protein interactions by three distinct binding surfaces, whose interactions are termed class I to class III.

A Central Cysteine Residue Is Essential for the Thermal Stability and Function of SUMO-1 Protein and SUMO-1 Peptide–Protein Conjugates [PDF]
SUMOylation constitutes a major post-translational modification (PTM) used by the eukaryote cellular machinery to modulate protein interactions of the targeted proteins. The small ubiquitin-like modifier-1 (SUMO-1) features a central and conserved cysteine residue (Cys52) that is located in the hydrophobic core of the protein and in tight contact with ...

Tomosyn interacts with the SUMO E3 ligase PIASγ. [PDF]
Protein modification by Small Ubiquitin-like MOdifier (SUMO) entities is involved in a number of neuronal functions, including synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity. Tomosyn-1 (syntaxin-binding protein 5; STXPB5) binds to t-SNARE (Soluble NSF Attachment

Generation of SUMO‐1 modified proteins in E. coli: towards understanding the biochemistry/structural biology of the SUMO‐1 pathway [PDF]
Here, we developed a binary vector system that introduces a synthetic SUMO‐1 conjugation pathway into Escherichia coli and demonstrated that large amounts of sumoylated Ran GTPase activating protein 1 C‐terminal region (RanGAP1‐C2), Ran binding protein 2 internal repeat domain, p53 and promyelocytic leukemia were efficiently produced.

Proteomics Analysis of Nucleolar SUMO-1 Target Proteins upon Proteasome Inhibition [PDF]
Many cellular processes are regulated by the coordination of several post-translational modifications that allow a very fine modulation of substrates. Recently it has been reported that there is a relationship between sumoylation and ubiquitination.
