Figure 4. SUMO target sites are defined by their structural context. (a) Position of four lysines in the N terminus of E2-25K. (b) In the folded protein, Lys14 is the preferred substrate. Wild type (WT) or indicated E2-25K mutant (500 ng), 1 g SUMO1, 300 ng Aos1 -Uba2, 500 ng Ubc9 and ATP were incubated for 30 min at 30 °C. (c) In an unfolded peptide, Lys10 is preferred. Indicated peptide (20 g) 1.5 g SUMO-E1, 340 ng Ubc9, 15 g SUMO and ATP were incubated for 0 -5 h. (d) In folded E2-25K protein, Lys14 is preferred. Wild type or indicated F2-25K mutant (7.5 g) 12 g SUMO-E1, 425 ng Ubc9, 20 g SUMO and ATP were incubated for 0 -2 h at 37 °C.
