SUMOylation and De-SUMOylation: Wrestling with Life's Processes [PDF]
The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is a ubiquitin-like protein that covalently modifies a large number of cellular proteins. SUMO modification has emerged as an important regulatory mechanism for protein function and localization. SUMOylation is a dynamic process that is mediated by activating (E1), conjugating (E2), and ligating (E3) enzymes and

SUMOylation and de‐SUMOylation in response to DNA damage [PDF]
To maintain genomic integrity, a cell must utilize multiple mechanisms to protect its DNA from the damage generated by environmental agents or DNA metabolism. SUMO (small ubiquitin‐like modifier) can regulate protein stability, protein cellular location, and protein–protein interactions.

Background The HIV virus hijacks cellular machineries to replicate. Post-translational modifications, like acetylation, phosphorylation or ubiquitination, are no exception. We are interested in studying the interplay between HIV and the SUMOylation pathway.

PML, SUMOylation, and Senescence [PDF]
Since its discovery, 25 years ago, promyelocytic leukemia (PML) has been an enigma. Implicated in the oncogenic PML/RARA fusion, forming elusive intranuclear domains, triggering cell death or senescence, controlled by and perhaps controlling SUMOylation… there are multiple PML-related issues.

The post-translational modification of histones by the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) protein has been associated with gene regulation, centromeric localization, and double-strand break repair in eukaryotes.

SUMOylation in development and neurodegeneration [PDF]
ABSTRACT In essentially all eukaryotes, proteins can be modified by the attachment of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) proteins to lysine side chains to produce branched proteins. This process of ‘SUMOylation’ plays essential roles in plant and animal development by altering protein function in spatially and temporally controlled ...

The Role of Sumoylation in the Response to Hypoxia: An Overview
Sumoylation is the covalent attachment of the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) to a vast variety of proteins in order to modulate their function. Sumoylation has emerged as an important modification with a regulatory role in the cellular response ...

Regulation of Smoothened Trafficking and Abundance in Hedgehog Signaling
The GPCR-family protein Smoothened (Smo) is essential for Hedgehog (Hh) signal transduction in both insects and vertebrates. The regulation of subcellular localization and abundance of Smo is a critical step in Hh signaling.

Analysis of PTP1B sumoylation [PDF]
Signaling enzymes are typically regulated by a variety of post-translational modifications. One such enzyme, protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 1B, which plays an important role in metabolic and growth signaling, has recently been shown to be inhibited by posttranslational modifications by ubiquitin-related proteins of the SUMO family.
