SUMO: regulating the regulator
Post-translational modifiers of the SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-related Modifier) family have emerged as key regulators of protein function and fate. While the past few years have seen an enormous increase in knowledge on SUMO enzymes, substrates, and ...

RAP80 interacts with the SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBC9 and is a novel target for sumoylation [PDF]
RAP80, a nuclear protein with two functional ubiquitin-interaction motifs (UIMs) at its N-terminus, plays a critical role in the regulation of estrogen receptor alpha and DNA damage response signaling. A yeast two-hybrid screen identified the SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBC9 as a protein interacting with RAP80.

The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in Huntington's disease. [PDF]
The accumulation of mutant protein is a common feature of neurodegenerative disease. In Huntington's disease, a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin protein triggers neuronal toxicity.

Molecular Characterization and Functional Localization of a Novel SUMOylation Gene in Oryza sativa
Small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) regulates the cellular function of diverse proteins through post-translational modifications. The current study defined a new homolog of SUMO genes in the rice genome and named it OsSUMO7. Putative protein analysis

SUMO modification of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2-25K
Post-translational modification with small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) alters the function of many proteins, but the molecular mechanisms and consequences of this modification are still poorly defined. During a screen for novel SUMO1 targets, we identified the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2-25K (Hip2).

The maize SUMO conjugating enzyme ZmSCE1b protects plants from paraquat toxicity
Paraquat (PQ) herbicide causes damage to green plant tissues by inducing the production of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). SUMOylation is an important post-translational modification that enables plants to defend against multiple stresses. However, it is still unknown whether the SUMOylation is involved in PQ resistance response in crops.

Site-specific identification and quantitation of endogenous SUMO modifications under native conditions. [PDF]
Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) modification regulates numerous cellular processes. Unlike ubiquitin, detection of endogenous SUMOylated proteins is limited by the lack of naturally occurring protease sites in the C-terminal tail of SUMO proteins ...
