Preparation and Storage

Background: SUMO2/3

Small Ubiquitin­like Modifiers (SUMOs) are a family of small, related proteins that can be enzymatically attached to a target protein by a post­translational modification process termed SUMOylation. Unlike ubiquitination, which targets proteins for degradation, SUMOylation participates in a number of cellular processes, such as nuclear transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, and protein stability. All human SUMO proteins share a conserved ubiquitin-like domain and a C-terminal diglycine cleavage/attachment site. Human SUMO1, SUMO2, SUMO3, and SUMO4 are all translated as propeptides, containing C-terminal prosegments following the diglycine motif that marks the end of the mature forms. Following prosegment cleavage, SUMO1, 2, and 3 may then be enzymatically attached to a lysine on a target protein. It is not clear whether SUMO4 is processed in a similar fashion.
