Insights in Post-Translational Modifications: Ubiquitin and SUMO
Both ubiquitination and SUMOylation are dynamic post-translational modifications that regulate thousands of target proteins to control virtually every cellular process.

Dynamic SUMO remodeling drives a series of critical events during the meiotic divisions in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
Chromosome congression and segregation in C. elegans oocytes depend on a complex of conserved proteins that forms a ring around the center of each bivalent during prometaphase; these complexes are then removed from chromosomes at anaphase onset and ...

Sumo E2 Enzyme UBC9 Is Required for Efficient Protein Quality Control in Cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Rationale: Impairment of proteasomal function is pathogenic in several cardiac proteinopathies and can eventually lead to heart failure. Loss of proteasomal activity often results in the accumulation of large protein aggregates.

In previous work, small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) in hemocytes of Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis was found to be up-regulated post-white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection using proteomic approach. However, the role of SUMO in viral infection is still unclear.

Structural basis for the SUMO protease activity of the atypical ubiquitin-specific protease USPL1
Post-translational protein modifications by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers regulate many major pathways in the cell. These modifications can be reversed by de-ubiquitinating enzymes such as ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs).

Functional reconstitution of a tunable E3-dependent sumoylation pathway in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) is a reversible post-translational protein modifier that alters the localization, activity, or stability of proteins to which it is attached.

Cancer-Associated Dysregulation of Sumo Regulators: Proteases and Ligases
SUMOylation is a post-translational modification that has emerged in recent decades as a mechanism involved in controlling diverse physiological processes and that is essential in vertebrates.

Allosteric Inhibition of Ubiquitin-like Modifications by a Class of Inhibitor of SUMO-Activating Enzyme [PDF]
Ubiquitin-like (Ubl) post-translational modifications are potential targets for therapeutics. However, the only known mechanism for inhibiting a Ubl-activating enzyme is through targeting its ATP-binding site. Here we identify an allosteric inhibitory site in the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-activating enzyme (E1).

Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like conjugation cascades consist of dedicated E1, E2 and E3 enzymes with E3s providing substrate specificity. Mass spectrometry-based approaches have enabled the identification of more than 60,000 acceptor sites for ubiquitin and
