Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Sumo 2 + Sumo 3 antibody (AB3742)

Immunofluorescent imaging of human cells (U2OS) with ab3742 confirms the specificity of this antibody. Antibody signal is localised exclusively to the nucleus, with diffuse background staining of the nucleoplasm. Intense foci of staining are also evident, corresponding to SUMO-2/3 accumulation in nuclear subdomains such as the PML body. This image is in exact agreement with several published reports (see for example Saitoh H et al.).

IF was performed with a standard paraformaldehyde technique (fixed in PBS buffered PFH 4% for 5 minutes, permeabilised with 0.5% triton-PBS for 5 minutes, blocked with 5% milk / 0.2% tween for one hour. Primary antibody used at 1/100 in 5% milk / 0.2% TWEEN for one hour, secondary antibody for 30 minutes. All blocking and incubation steps carried out at 37 degrees. Nuclei are stained with Hoechst stain.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Sumo 2 + Sumo 3 antibody (AB3742)

IHC image of Sumo 2+3 staining in human colon adenocarcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab3742, 1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 are small ubiquitin-like modifier proteins involved in post-translational modification often referred to as SUMOylation. Alternately known as SUMO-2 and SUMO-3 these proteins weigh approximately 11 kDa each and are widely expressed across various tissues including the heart and brain. During stress conditions cells significantly increase the conjugation of these proteins to other cellular proteins thereby altering their functions subcellular localization or interactions.
Biological function summary

Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 play essential roles in numerous cellular processes by modifying several target proteins in the nucleus and cytoplasm. They are part of a complex regulatory system that modulates processes like nuclear transport chromosome segregation and DNA repair. Sumo 2/3 often work in tandem with other members of the SUMO family including SUMO-1 to ensure proper cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 are intimately involved in fundamental cellular signaling pathways such as the p53 pathway and NF-κB pathway. These proteins modulate the activity of key proteins within these pathways including the tumor suppressor p53 and the transcription factor NF-κB which regulate cell survival proliferation and apoptosis. Sumo 2/3-related modifications can alter the stability and function of these proteins thereby influencing cellular response to stimuli.

Alterations in Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 functionality have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and various cancers. In neurodegenerative disorders like Huntington's disease abnormal SUMOylation of specific proteins affects neuronal survival and function. Similarly in cancer dysregulation of SUMOylation pathways can affect the expression and activity of the oncogenic protein c-Myc contributing to tumor progression. These associations underline the significant role of Sumo 2/3 in pathophysiology.

Target data

Ubiquitin-like protein that can be covalently attached to proteins as a monomer or as a lysine-linked polymer. Covalent attachment via an isopeptide bond to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex SAE1-SAE2 and linkage to the E2 enzyme UBE2I, and can be promoted by an E3 ligase such as PIAS1-4, RANBP2, CBX4 or ZNF451 (PubMed : 26524494). This post-translational modification on lysine residues of proteins plays a crucial role in a number of cellular processes such as nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis and signal transduction. Polymeric SUMO2 chains are also susceptible to polyubiquitination which functions as a signal for proteasomal degradation of modified proteins (PubMed : 18408734, PubMed : 18538659, PubMed : 21965678, PubMed : 9556629). Plays a role in the regulation of sumoylation status of SETX (PubMed : 24105744).
