  • In our bioinformatics analysis of proteins with increased SU

    2024-05-23

    In our bioinformatics analysis of proteins with increased SUMOylation upon treatment with MMC and HU, we found clusters of co-regulated proteins that are known to function together in the RS response. In addition to the ATR activation proteins, BRCA1 and BARD1, we also found Fanconi anemia proteins and DSB response proteins, like MDC1, NBN, and CtIP. This is particularly interesting in light of the recent idea that SUMO functions as a molecular glue to mediate protein complex formation under specific cellular states and that this modification takes form of a “SUMO spray” (Jentsch and Psakhye, 2013). A consequence of this Malonic acid is that SUMOylation should occur on functionally related proteins to promote cooperation and interaction in protein networks, and this is precisely what we observed in our dataset. Interestingly, we found that proteins co-modified by SUMOylation and phosphorylation generally have many regulated sites in response to RS. This poses a challenge for functional studies because site-directed mutagenesis of specific SUMOylation acceptor sites has been shown to result in little effect on overall protein SUMOylation or function (Jentsch and Psakhye, 2013). Here, we present an integrated analysis of global protein phosphorylation and SUMOylation in RS responses and the largest resource to date of regulated SUMOylation targets under these conditions. We propose that increased SUMOylation occurs on specific and relevant factors in response to distinct DNA lesions, as illustrated by the SUMOylation dynamics upon RS and RS-induced DSBs. Our data suggest that these SUMOylation responses are orchestrated by the apical kinases ATR and ATM in parallel with or as part of their phosphorylation signaling. These findings, and further investigations of the co-regulation of these two modifications, are currently of great interest because the induction of RS-provoked DSBs is increasingly used in chemotherapy to induce cancer cell killing (Li and Heyer, 2008). In light of the essential role of SUMO in the maintenance of genomic integrity (Bergink and Jentsch, 2009, Jackson and Durocher, 2013), the increasing interest in this system as a druggable target (Kessler et al., 2012) will require the understanding of how its perturbation affects global signaling networks.
