The ubiquitin-related SUMO system controls many cellular signaling networks. In mammalian cells, three SUMO forms (SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3) act as covalent modifiers of up to thousands of cellular proteins. SUMO conjugation affects cell function mainly by regulating the plasticity of protein networks. Importantly, the modification is reversible and highly dynamic. Cysteine proteases of the sentrin-specific protease (SENP) family reverse SUMO conjugation in mammalian cells. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we will summarize how the six members of the mammalian SENP family orchestrate multifaceted deconjugation events to coordinate cell processes, such as gene expression, the DNA damage response and inflammation.

SUMOylation, the modification of proteins with a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), is known to regulate various cellular events, including cell division. This process is dynamic, with its status depending on the balance between SUMOylation and deSUMOylation. While the regulation of cell division by sentrin-specific protease (SENP) family proteins through deSUMOylation has been investigated, the role of another deSUMOylase, deSUMOylating isopeptidase 1 (DESI1), remains unknown.

Renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) is a primary cause of acute kidney damage, occurring frequently in situations like renal transplantation, yet the underlying mechanisms were not fully understood. Sentrin-specific protease 1 (SENP1) is an important member of the SENP family, which is widely involved in various diseases. However, the role of SENP1 in RIRI has been unclear.

Oxidative stress is employed to depict a series of responses detrimental to normal cellular functions resulting from an imbalance between intracellular oxidants, mainly reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defenses. Oxidative stress often contributes to the development of various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. In this process, the relationship between small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) and oxidative stress has garnered significant attention, with its posttranslational modification (PTM) frequently serving as a marker of oxidative stress status.
