This pathway links a SUMO molecule to a targeted protein.(Filip) Ubc9’s conjugation with SUMO and not ubiquitin results in the targeted protein being tagged not for degradation, but to modify the protein for use in regulation, enhancing protein activity, and/or cell cycle functions. (Muller)(Victor) Ubc9 is one of the 35 known mammalian ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. These Ubcs bind to ubiquitin or ubiquitin –like proteins.(Sjored) test
