A small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is a post-translational modification of a protein that refers to the covalent attachment of a small ubiquitin-associated modifier (SUMO) to the protein. Although SUMO structurally similar to ubiquitin, unlike ubiquitination, does not target proteins for protein hydrolysis, but rather regulates protein function in various cellular processes. SUMO is involved in a wide range of intracellular metabolic pathways and plays important roles in nucleoplasmic transport, signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, DNA damage repair, cell cycle regulation, ion channels, and biorhythms.

What We Offer

Lifeasible has established a large-scale purification and identification method for plant protein SUMO, combined with an advanced mass spectrometry platform, to perform SUMO modification proteomics analysis on different groups of plant samples provided by customers, to identify SUMO modification sites/peptides/protein information of all samples, to quantitatively screen SUMO modification sites that are significantly differentially expressed between different groups of samples, and to perform bioinformatics analysis of related modification proteins. All you need to do is to tell us the purpose of your experiment and send us your samples, and we will take care of all the project follow-up.
