SUMO1
Function
Ubiquitin-like protein which can be covalently attached to target lysines as a monomer. Does not seem to be involved in protein degradation and may function as an antagonist of ubiquitin in the degradation process. Required for the massive protein sumoylation in the nucleus induced by heat shock and controlled by SIZ1. Involved in the regulation of the heat stress transcription factor HSFA2 in acquired thermotolerance.
