This is the second edition of a very well received book that
details how the sumoylation system functions and how it modulates
numerous cellular activities. SUMO is a post-translational modifier
in the ubiquitin super-family that has gained recognition over the
last twenty years as an essential and prevalent regulatory
molecule. Individual chapters explore the biochemistry, molecular
biology, and cell biology of the sumoylation system and its
substrate proteins. The book is divided into three themed parts:
Molecular Functions (I), Cell Growth Regulation (II), and Diseases
(III). Parts I and II focus on the contribution of sumoylation to
cellular activities in both the nuclear and cytoplasmic
compartments. The nuclear activities covered include nucleic acid
metabolism (both RNA and DNA), chromosome structure and
replication, and nucleocytoplasmic transport. Cytoplasmic processes
presented include regulation of membrane ion channels, general
metabolism, and apoptotic signalling. Topics in Part III include
the role of sumoylation in developmental abnormalities
(craniofacial and cardiovascular), diabetes, neurodegenerative
diseases, cancer, and infections with viruses and bacteria. Each of
the corresponding chapter authors is an active researcher who has
made significant contributions to understanding sumoylation. This
second edition provides updates and revisions to most of the
original chapters plus adds six new chapters to address important
developing areas of sumoylation research. This volume is intended
for a scientific audience from undergraduates to independent
researchers. The content will serve as both a solid introduction
for the novice reader and an in depth treatment for the advanced
scholar.
