title: SUMO changes Sox for developmental diversity.
abstract: The finding that posttranslational modification of the SoxE transcription factors by SUMO regulates specific developmental programs (Taylor and LaBonne [2005], in the journal Developmental Cell) highlights the biological significance of SUMOylation in gene expression and underscores how much there is yet to learn about the function and regulation of this modification.
