SUMO protein modifier

Caption

SUMO (red) is covalently linked to the TOG2 domain of Stu1, a microtubule associated protein (blue). When Stu1 is SUMOylated the protein abundance is increased by 442% in simulated microgravity, compared to the gravity condition. When Stu1 is not SUMOylated, the protein abundance is decreased by 55% in simulated microgravity. Created using the PyMol molecular visualization system.
