    Allosteric activation of SENP1 by SUMO1 β-grasp domain involves a dock-and-coalesce mechanism

    Jingjing Guo, Huan-Xiang Zhou
    Simulations of molecular dynamics suggest how the binding of the β-grasp domain of SUMO1 induces conformational and dynamic effects to activate SENP1.

    Characterisation of the biflavonoid hinokiflavone as a pre-mRNA splicing modulator that inhibits SENP

    Andrea Pawellek, Ursula Ryder ... Angus I Lamond
    Hinokiflavone is identified as a splicing modulator that blocks progression from spliceosome complex A to complex B and inhibits SUMO protease SENP1, causing hyper-SUMOylation affecting 6 U2 snRNP proteins.

    SENP8 limits aberrant neddylation of NEDD8 pathway components to promote cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase function

    Kate E Coleman, Miklós Békés ... Tony T Huang
    Aberrant neddylation of non-cullin substrates disrupts normal cell cycle progression.

    SUMOylation of NaV1.2 channels regulates the velocity of backpropagating action potentials in cortical pyramidal neurons

    Oron Kotler, Yana Khrapunsky ... Ilya Fleidervish
    In cortical pyramidal neurons, subtype-specific SUMOylation of Na+ channels regulates input-output relationships, synaptic boosting, and action potential propagation from the axonal trigger zone back into the dendrites.

    Sumoylation promotes optimal APC/C activation and timely anaphase

    Christine C Lee, Bing Li ... Michael J Matunis
    The Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome is regulated by sumoylation to ensure timely mitotic exit in human cells.

    SUMOylation of NaV1.2 channels mediates the early response to acute hypoxia in central neurons

    Leigh D Plant, Jeremy D Marks, Steve AN Goldstein
    The immediate response of the brain to a sudden, harmful drop in oxygen supply is the addition of SUMO proteins to sodium ion channels in neurons, increasing their activity.

    Genetic and pharmacological evidence for kinetic competition between alternative poly(A) sites in yeast

    Rachael Emily Turner, Paul F Harrison ... Traude H Beilharz
    The natural compounds cordycepin and mycophenolic acid stimulate alternative polyadenylation through opposing effects on transcriptional rate.

    Shigella entry unveils a calcium/calpain-dependent mechanism for inhibiting sumoylation

    Pierre Lapaquette, Sabrina Fritah ... Anne Dejean
    Shigella infection induces a calpain-mediated loss of SUMO conjugates that promotes bacterial entry.

    The homologous recombination machinery modulates the formation of RNA–DNA hybrids and associated chromosome instability

    Lamia Wahba, Steven K Gore, Douglas Koshland
    When a protein involved in DNA repair malfunctions, it can anneal RNA molecules to DNA molecules, creating hybrids that increase the frequency of mutations in the DNA.

    Cryo-EM structure of a late pre-40S ribosomal subunit from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    André Heuer, Emma Thomson ... Roland Beckmann
    Near atomic resolution of late 40S ribosomal subunit assembly by cryo-EM reveals immature rRNA active sites stabilized by biogenesis factors.
