SUMO changes Sox for developmental diversity

Mol Cell. 2005 Nov 23;20(4):495-6. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2005.11.004.

Abstract

The finding that posttranslational modification of the SoxE transcription factors by SUMO regulates specific developmental programs (Taylor and LaBonne [2005], in the journal Developmental Cell) highlights the biological significance of SUMOylation in gene expression and underscores how much there is yet to learn about the function and regulation of this modification.
