ABSTRACT
The SENP proteases regulate the SUMO conjugates in the cell by cleaving SUMO
from target proteins. SENP6 and SENP7 are the most divergent members of the
SENP/ULP protease family in humans by the presence of insertions in their
catalytic domains. Loop1 insertion is determinant for the SUMO2/3 activity and
specificity on SENP6 and SENP7. To gain structural insights into the role of
Loop1, we have designed a chimeric SENP2 with the insertion of Loop1 into its
sequence. The structure of SENP2-Loop1 in complex with SUMO2 was solved at 2.15
Å resolution, and reveals the details of an interface exclusive to SENP6/7 and
the formation of unique contacts between both proteins. Interestingly,
functional data with SUMO substrates showed an increase of the proteolytic
activity in the SENP2-Loop1 chimera for diSUMO2 and polySUMO2 substrates.
