Over the past years, modification by covalent attachment of SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) has been demonstrated for of a number of cellular and viral proteins. While increasing evidence suggests a role for SUMO modification in the regulation of protein-protein interactions and/or subcellular localization, most SUMO targets are still at large. In this report we show that Topors, a Topoisomerase I and p53 interacting protein of hitherto unknown function, presents a novel cellular target for SUMO-1 modification. In a yeast two-hybrid system, Topors interacted with both SUMO-1 and the SUMO-1 conjugating enzyme UBC9. Multiple SUMO-1 modified forms of Topors could be detected after cotransfection of exogenous SUMO-1 and Topors induced the colocalization of a YFP tagged SUMO-1 protein in a speckled pattern in the nucleus. A subset of these Topors' nuclear speckles were closely associated with the PML nuclear bodies (POD, ND10). A central domain comprising Topors residues 437 to 574 was sufficient for both sumolation and localization to nuclear speckles. One SUMO-1 acceptor site at lysine residue 560 could be identified within this region. However, sumolation-deficient Topors mutants showed that sumolation obviously is not required for localization to nuclear speckles.  相似文献

The serine/threonine kinase HIPK2 regulates gene expression programs controlling differentiation and cell death. HIPK2 localizes in subnuclear speckles, but the structural components allowing this localization are not understood. A point mutation analysis allowed mapping two nuclear localization signals and a SUMO interaction motif (SIM) that also occurs in HIPK1 and HIPK3. The SIM binds all three major isoforms of SUMO (SUMO-1-3), while only SUMO-1 is capable of covalent conjugation to HIPK2. Deletion or mutation of the SIM prevented SUMO binding and precluded localization of HIPK2 in nuclear speckles, thus causing localization of HIPK2 to the entire cell. Functional inactivation of the SIM prohibited recruitment of HIPK2 to PML nuclear bodies and disrupted colocalization with other proteins such as the polycomb protein Pc2 in nuclear speckles. Interaction of HIPK2 with Pc2 or PML in intact cells was largely dependent on a functional SIM in HIPK2, highlighting the relevance of SUMO/SIM interactions as a molecular glue that serves to enhance protein/protein interaction networks. HIPK2 mutants with an inactive SIM showed changed activities, thus revealing that non-covalent binding of SUMO to the kinase is important for the regulation of its function.  相似文献
