Analysis of the available human small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteomics data provided evidence for the sumoylation of thousands of proteins and residues, and clustered the sumoylated proteins into functional networks. Sumoylation is a frequent modification, occurring mostly on nuclear proteins, with functions including transcription, mRNA processing and the DNA-damage response.
