Proteome-wide Mapping of Endogenous SUMOylation Sites in Mouse Testis.

ABSTRACT: SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational modification involved in various critical biological processes. To date, there is limited approach for endogenous wild-type SUMO-modified peptides enrichment and SUMOylation sites identification. In this study, we generated a high-affinity SUMO1 antibody to facilitate the enrichment of endogenous SUMO1-modified peptides from Trypsin/Lys-C protease digestion. Following secondary Glu-C protease digestion, we identified 53 high-confidence SUMO1-modified sites from mouse testis by using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Bioinformatics analyses showed that SUMO1-modified proteins were enriched in transcription regulation and DNA repair. Nab1 was validated to be an authentic SUMOylated protein and Lys⁴⁷⁹ was identified to be the major SU
