Sumoylation regulates diverse biological processes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Ten years after its discovery, the small ubiquitin-like protein modifier (SUMO) has emerged as a key regulator of proteins.
While early studies indicated that sumoylation takes place mainly in the nucleus, an increasing number of non-nuclear substrates
have recently been identified, suggesting a wider stage for sumoylation in the cell. Unlike ubiquitylation, which primarily
targets a substrate for degradation, sumoylation regulates a substrate’s functions mainly by altering the intracellular localization,
protein-protein interactions or other types of post-translational modifications. These changes in turn affect gene expression,
genomic and chromosomal stability and integrity, and signal transduction. Sumoylation is counter-balanced by desumoylation,
and well-balanced sumoylation is essential for normal cellular behaviors. Loss of the balance has been associated with a number
of diseases. This paper reviews recent progress in the study of SUMO pathways, substrates, and cellular functions and highlights
important findings that have accelerated advances in this study field and link sumoylation to human diseases.

In higher vertebrates, sulfatases belong to a conserved family of enzymes that are involved in the regulation of cell metabolism
and in developmental cell signaling. They cleave the sulfate from sulfate esters contained in hormones, proteins, and complex
macromolecules. A highly conserved cysteine in their active site is post-translationally converted into formylglycine by the
formylglycine-generating enzyme encoded by SUMF1 (sulfatase modifying factor 1). This post-translational modification activates all sulfatases. Sulfatases are extensively
glycosylated proteins and some of them follow trafficking pathways through cells, being secreted and taken up by distant cells.
Many proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids contain sulfated carbohydrates, which are sulfatase substrates. Indeed,
sulfatases operate as decoding factors for a large amount of biological information contained in the structures of the sulfated
sugar chains that are covalently linked to proteins and lipids. Modifications to these sulfate groups have pivotal roles in
modulating specific signaling pathways and cell metabolism in mammals. 相似文献
