Abstract

Background: Post-translational SUMO modification of TDG weakens its DNA binding and was proposed to regulate dissociation of a tight enzyme-product complex. Results: In vitro sumoylation of TDG by SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 is efficient for free and DNA-bound TDG. Conclusion: E2-mediated sumoylation is not selective for product-bound TDG but could potentially stimulate product release. Significance: Our findings inform the mechanism and role of TDG sumoylation.
