title: Tag-team SUMO wrestling.
abstract: Structural and kinetic studies of a SUMORanGAP1-Ubc9-Nup358/RanBP2 complex (Reverter and Lima, 2005) provide the first high-resolution view of SUMO recognition by a SUMO binding motif and also reveal a novel mechanism for E3 ubiquitin-like protein ligases, with the Nup358/RanBP2 E3 teaming up with both SUMO and the E2 (Ubc9) to stimulate tagging.
