Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 are small ubiquitin-like modifier proteins involved in post-translational modification often referred to as SUMOylation. Alternately known as SUMO-2 and SUMO-3 these proteins weigh approximately 11 kDa each and are widely expressed across various tissues including the heart and brain. During stress conditions cells significantly increase the conjugation of these proteins to other cellular proteins thereby altering their functions subcellular localization or interactions.
Biological function summary
Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 play essential roles in numerous cellular processes by modifying several target proteins in the nucleus and cytoplasm. They are part of a complex regulatory system that modulates processes like nuclear transport chromosome segregation and DNA repair. Sumo 2/3 often work in tandem with other members of the SUMO family including SUMO-1 to ensure proper cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 are intimately involved in fundamental cellular signaling pathways such as the p53 pathway and NF-κB pathway. These proteins modulate the activity of key proteins within these pathways including the tumor suppressor p53 and the transcription factor NF-κB which regulate cell survival proliferation and apoptosis. Sumo 2/3-related modifications can alter the stability and function of these proteins thereby influencing cellular response to stimuli.
Alterations in Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 functionality have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and various cancers. In neurodegenerative disorders like Huntington's disease abnormal SUMOylation of specific proteins affects neuronal survival and function. Similarly in cancer dysregulation of SUMOylation pathways can affect the expression and activity of the oncogenic protein c-Myc contributing to tumor progression. These associations underline the significant role of Sumo 2/3 in pathophysiology.
