Abstract excerpt
Although it is well established that ubiquitin-like modifications are tightly regulated, it has been unclear how their E1 activities are controlled. In this study, we found that the SAE2 subunit of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) E1 is autoSUMOylated at residue Lys-236, and SUMOylation was catalyzed by Ubc9 at several additional Lys residues surrounding the catalytic Cys-173 of SAE2. AutoSUMOylation of...
