SUMO-activating enzyme subunit 1; ubiquitin-like 1-activating enzyme E1A (SAE1, AOS1, SUA1, UBLE1A)
Function:
- heterodimer of SAE1 & UBA2/SAE2 acts as a E1 ligase for SUMO1, SUMO2, SUMO3, & probably SUMO4
- enzyme regulatory subunit
- mediates ATP-dependent activation of SUMO proteins followed by formation of a thioester bond between a SUMO protein & a conserved active site Cys on UBA2/SAE2
- protein modification; protein sumoylation
- phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR
- heterodimer of SAE1 & UBA2/SAE2 corresponds to the two domains that are encoded on a single polypeptide chain in ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1
- interacts with UBE2I
Structure: belongs to the ubiquitin-activating E1 family
Compartment: nucleus
Expression:
- expression increases during S phase & drops in G2 phase (at protein level)
Laboratory:
- SUMO-activating enzyme subunit 1 Ab in serum
- SUMO-activating enzyme subunit 1 IgG in serum
