UBC9-Mediated Sumoylation Favorably Impacts Cardiac Function in Compromised Hearts

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: SUMOylation plays an important role in cardiac function and can be protective against cardiac stress. Recent studies show that SUMOylation is an integral part of the ubiquitin proteasome system, and expression of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) E2 enzyme UBC9 improves cardiac protein quality control. However, the precise role of SUMOylation on other protein degradation pathways, particularly...
