What do SUMOs do in cells?

Professor Ronald Hay and his team at the University of Dundee are looking inside cells to find out what goes wrong in cancer. They are studying a group of proteins called SUMOs that latch onto other proteins and change their behaviour.

Understanding how SUMOs control processes that are central to cancer, such as cell growth and survival, could reveal opportunities for developing new treatments.
