UniProtKB - Q9UBE0 (SAE1_HUMAN)

Protein

SUMO-activating enzyme subunit 1

Gene

SAE1

Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: -Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

The heterodimer acts as an E1 ligase for SUMO1, SUMO2, SUMO3, and probably SUMO4. It mediates ATP-dependent activation of SUMO proteins followed by formation of a thioester bond between a SUMO protein and a conserved active site cysteine residue on UBA2/SAE2.7 Publications

Pathwayi: protein sumoylation

This protein is involved in the pathway protein sumoylation, which is part of Protein modification.
View all proteins of this organism that are known to be involved in the pathway protein sumoylation and in Protein modification.
