Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that modification of Tcf-4, a transcription factor in the Wnt pathway, with SUMO by PIASy, a SUMO E3 ligase, enhances its transcriptional activity. Since PIASy itself was also modified with SUMO-1, we studied the role of sumoylation of PIASy in the regulation of Tcf-4. Lys(35) was found to be a sumoylation site of PIASy. PIASy(K35R), in which Lys(35) was mutated to Arg, did not enhance...
