SUMO-specific endopeptidase activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of peptide bonds between an alpha-carboxyl group and an alpha-amino group within the small conjugating protein SUMO. [GOC:mah]

SUMO-specific endopeptidase activity refers to the enzymatic cleavage of isopeptide bonds between SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) proteins and their target substrates. SUMOylation, a reversible post-translational modification, involves the attachment of SUMO to lysine residues of target proteins, affecting their function, localization, and interactions. SUMO-specific endopeptidases, also known as SENPs (Sentrin/SUMO-specific proteases), catalyze the removal of SUMO from SUMOylated proteins, thereby reversing the process of SUMOylation. This deSUMOylation is a crucial step in regulating the dynamic nature of SUMOylation and ensuring proper cellular function. SENPs exhibit substrate specificity, targeting different SUMO isoforms (SUMO1-4) and interacting with various SUMOylated proteins, contributing to the diversity and complexity of the SUMOylation pathway.'
