basic FUNCTION
| involved in the function and/or structure of the eukaryotic kinetochore |
|
ubiquitin-like protein that can be conjugated to other proteins in a manner analogous to ubiquitination |
|
SUMO-2/3 conjugation and the ubiquitin-proteasome system are tightly integrated and act in a cooperative manner  |
|
with other SUMO proteins, binding to lysine residues of target proteins and thereby modifying their stability, activity and subcellular localization  |
|
with SUMO2 and SUMO1 accumulate at DNA double-strand breaks sites in mammalian cells, with SUMO1 and SUMO2/3 accrual requiring the E3 ligase enzymes PIAS4 and PIAS1  |
|
SUMO2 and SUMO3 can rapidly convert to be conjugated in response to a variety of cellular stresses  |
