SUMO is ap ost-translational modifier critical for cell cycle progression and genome stability that playsarole in tumorigenesis,t hus rendering SUMO-specific enzymes potential pharmacological targets.H owever,t he systematic generation of tools for the activity profiling of SUMO-specific enzymes has proven challenging.W edeveloped adiversifiable synthetic platform for SUMO-based probes by using ad irect linear synthesis method, which permits N-and C-terminal labelling to incorporate dyes and reactive warheads,r espectively.I nt his manner,a ctivity-based probes (ABPs) for SUMO-1, SUMO-2, and SUMO-3-specific proteases were generated and validated in cells using gel-based assays and confocal microscopy. We further expanded our toolbox with the synthesis of aK 11-linked diSUMO-2 probe to study the proteolytic cleavage of SUMO chains.T ogether,t hese ABPs demonstrate the versatility and specificity of our synthetic SUMO platform for in vitro and in vivo characterization of the SUMO protease family.
