Advances in Research on Sumoylation of Breast Cancer-Related Proteins / 中国实验动物学报

ABSTRACT

Small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMO) are a family of proteins that modulate important functional properties,including protein interaction,subcellular localization,protein dimerization,DNA binding and/or transactivation of transcription factors.It has been suggested that SUMO proteins may play an important role in breast carcinogenesis by sumoylation of estrogen signaling proteins such as co-regulators,and breast cancer-related proteins.
