“…Different from the ubiquitination mediated targets degradation (mainly referring to K48-linked ubiquitin chains), SUMOylation predominantly regulates protein localization and activity, and involves in multiple important biologic functions including cell cycle control, gene expression, genome stability, and protein trafficking, which are important for cell and tissue homeostasis. In recent years, many research groups, including our group, have shown that SUMO signaling is implicated in cancers [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Many different types of cancers show dysregulation of one or more components of the SUMO machinery, which predominantly results in an increase in SUMOylation.…”
