Scientific background The post-translational modification of cellular proteins by Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO) plays a role in a diverse range of biological processes including nuclear protein targeting, formation of sub-nuclear complexes, regulation of transcriptional activities, control of protein stability, chromosome segregation, recovery from checkpoint arrest, DNA damage response and meiosis. SUMOylation of substrate proteins takes place in a manner analogous to that of the ubiquitin conjugation system, utilising E1, E2 and E3 enzymes in an ATP dependent process and often requires a short sequence containing the consensus Ψ-K-X-D/E (where lysine is the modified amino acid, Ψ is a large hydrophobic residue and X is any amino acid residue) on the substrate protein for protein SUMO modification to occur. The SUMO protein family consists of three well accepted members in vertebrates: SUMO1 and the close homologues SUMO2 and SUMO3 with some 50% homology between SUMO1 and SUMO2/3. A fourth family member, SUMO4, has been described though it existence and functional role are still the matter of some debate. Despite their fairly low amino acid sequence identity the SUMO proteins exhibit similar tertiary structures to ubiquitin. Whilst the specific roles of the three SUMO isoforms have not been fully elucidated they have been shown to regulate distinct mitotic processes in mammalian cells. In addition SUMO2 and SUMO3 can form homogenous and mixed chains, with SUMO1, which does not contain the internal SUMO consensus sites (K11) found in SUMO2 and SUMO3, thought to terminate mixed polysumo chains. Protein modification with polysumo chains is involved in processes distinct from those associated with mono-sumoylation. References 1.

Assay principle This kit facilitates the fast, effective capture and detection of SUMO modified proteins from biological samples. The kit utilises a high capacity, high specificity SUMO binding matrix together with our easy-to-use purification system for less hands on time and superior performance. Analysis by Western blotting or proteomic methods enables identification and assessment of SUMOylated proteins of interest. Kit contains sufficient SUMO binding matrix to perform 10 assays. Use this kit to: 1. Capture and detect SUMO modified proteins from cell lysates and tissue extracts 2. Demonstrate specific proteins are substrates for SUMOylation in vivo 3. Identify and characterise SUMO modified proteins by proteomic analysis 4. Investigate the role of SUMOylation in specific cellular processes Kit components Reagent Quantity Storage SUMO capture matrix (50% slurry) 400µL 4ºC Spin columns 10 tubes 4ºC Collection tubes 10 tubes 4ºC SUMO1 sheep antibody 10µL -20ºC SUMO2/3 sheep antibody 10µL -20ºC Storage Kit components should be stored at the stated temperatures to ensure stability and activity.

SUMO capture assay Notes: Please read protocol in its entirety before starting. Kit contains sufficient SUMO binding matrix to perform up to 10 assays. Assay preparation Samples Recommend using 200µL lysate at 2mg/mL per assay as a starting point. Adjust lysate concentration with lysis buffer if required. Lysis buffer Assay compatible with a wide range of lysis buffers. Avoid buffer components that cause protein denaturation, especially chaotropes such as urea. Minimise use of reducing agents (e.g. DTT) and detergents where possible. Utilise general cysteine protease inhibitor such as iodoacetamide or N- ethylmaleimide to minimise SUMO deconjugation by SUMO proteases (SENPs) Suggested lysis buffer: 50mM Tris-Cl, ph 7.5, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% deoxycholate, 200mM iodoacetamide, 0.1% (v/v) protease inhibitor cocktail III (Roche). Elution buffer Select appropriate elution buffer for intended method of analysis: a) SDS-PAGE sample loading buffer WB analysis b) 0.1% formic acid proteomic analysis Assay optimisation Optimal assay conditions for capture of SUMOylated proteins from specific lysate samples must be determined by the user. Adjustment of the following parameters may facilitate this process: Sample volume, 100-500µL Sample concentration, 0.5-2mg/mL SUMO capture matrix volume, 10-50µL settled resin Assay time, 1-4 hours or overnight Page 4
