To maintain genome stability, proliferating cells must enact a program of telomere maintenance. While most tumors maintain telomeres through the action of telomerase, a subset of tumors utilize a DNA-templated process termed Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres or ALT. ALT is associated with mutations in the ATRX/DAXX/H3.

The SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) family is involved in multiple cellular processes via a wide range of mechanisms to maintain genome stability. One of the evolutionarily conserved functions of STUbL is to promote changes in the nuclear positioning of DNA lesions, targeting them to the nuclear periphery. In Schizossacharomyces pombe, the STUbL Slx8 is a regulator of SUMOylated proteins and promotes replication stress tolerance by counteracting the toxicity of SUMO conjugates.

SUMOylation is a protein modification process that involves the covalent attachment of a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) to a specific lysine residue on the target protein. This modification can influence the function, localization, stability, and interactions of proteins, thereby regulating various cellular processes. Altering the SUMOylation of certain proteins is expected to be a potential approach for treating specific cancers and diseases.

Low-temperature injury affects normal physiological function and viability of boar sperm during cryopreservation. Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) modification of proteins after translation is related to the cell stress response but the relationship between SUMO modification and oxidative stress in freeze-thawed sperm remains unclear. A-kinase ankyrin 4 (AKAP4) and its precursor proAKAP4 are two main proteins in mammalian sperm.
