Abstract: Abstract Modification with SUMO regulates many eukaryotic proteins. Down-regulation of sumoylated forms of proteins involves either their desumoylation, and hence recycling of the unmodified form, or their proteolytic targeting by ubiquitin ligases that recognize their SUMO modification (termed STUbL or ULS). STUbL enzymes such as Uls1 and Slx5-Slx8 in budding yeast or RNF4 and Arkadia/RNF111 in humans bear multiple SUMO interaction motifs to recognize substrates carrying poly-SUMO chains. Using yeast as experimental system and isothermal titration calorimetry, we here show that Arkadia specifically selects substrates carrying SUMO1-capped SUMO2/3 hybrid conjugates and targets them for proteasomal degradation. Our data suggest that a SUMO1-specific binding site in Arkadia with sequence similarity to a SUMO1-binding site in DPP9 is required for targeting endogenous hybrid SUMO conjugates and PML nuclear bodies in human cells. We thus characterize Arkadia as a STUbL with a preference for substrate proteins marked with distinct hybrid SUMO chains.
