Show abstract
SUMO targeted ubiqutin ligases (STUbLs) like RNF4 or Arkadia/RNF111 recognize SUMO chains through multiple SUMO interacting motifs (SIMs). Typically, these are contained in disordered regions of these enzymes and also the individual SUMO domains of SUMO chains move relatively freely. It is assumed that binding the SIM region significantly restricts the conformational freedom of SUMO chains. Here, we present the results of extensive molecular dynamics simulations on the complex formed by the SIM2-SIM3 region of RNF4 and diSUMO3. Though our simulations highlight the importance of typical SIM-SUMO interfaces also in the multivalent situation, we observe that frequently other regions of the peptide than the canonical SIMs establish this interface. This variability regarding the individual interfaces leads to a conformationally highly flexible complex. Even though this is in contrast to previous models of the RNF4 SUMO chain interaction, we demonstrate that our simulations are clearly consistent with previous experimental results.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
