“…Moreover, in extranuclear compartments, SUMOylation has been proposed to regulate enzymatic activity, ion channel activity, signaling by G protein‐coupled receptors, mitochondrial dynamics, and various cytoskeletal proteins (Alonso et al., 2015; Andreou & Tavernarakis, 2009). Finally, SUMOylation can affect protein stability or localization and is able to change protein–protein interactions, thus regulating the assembly or disassembly of protein complexes (Chymkowitch et al., 2015; Eifler & Vertegaal, 2015; Flotho & Melchior, 2013). For example, the GTPase‐activating protein RanGAP1, which is the most abundant SUMO1 target in cells, relocalizes to the nuclear envelope upon SUMO1 conjugation where it regulates nuclear trafficking (Mahajan, Delphin, Guan, Gerace & Melchior, 1997; Ritterhoff et al., 2016).…”
