Adding to the complexity of HIF-1α regulation, it has recently been shown that the SUMOylation of HIF-1α enables the hydroxylation-independent binding and subsequent degradation of HIF-1α by the

The key actors are members of two tightly associated families of proteins-the first, Small Ubiquitin-related Modifier, or SUMO, attaches to other proteins to modify their function or physically move them within the cell (SUMOylation).

Because LLO decreased the SUMOylation of many different proteins, Cossart hypothesized that the toxin interfered with the cellular machinery responsible for SUMOylation.

The A isoform-specific region generally contained four conserved microdomains, including the SUMOylation motif and the nuclear localization signal, whereas the B1 isoform-specific region contained three conserved microdomains, including an acidic activator domain-like motif.
