Term Name: protein sumoylation
Synonyms: protein sumolation, small ubiquitin-related protein 1 conjugation, Smt3-protein conjugation, Smt3p-protein conjugation, SUMO-protein conjugation, sumoylation
Definition: The process in which a SUMO protein (small ubiquitin-related modifier) is conjugated to a target protein via an isopeptide bond between the carboxy-terminus of SUMO with an epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue of the target protein.
