Source-derived summary

Small ubiquitin-related modifier 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SUMO3 gene.

Function

SUMO proteins, such as SUMO3, and ubiquitin (see MIM 191339) posttranslationally modify numerous cellular proteins and affect their metabolism and function. However, unlike ubiquitination, which targets proteins for degradation, sumoylation participates in a number of cellular processes, such as nuclear transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, and protein stability (Su and Li, 2002).[supplied by OMIM]

Interactions

SUMO3 has been shown to interact with ARNTL and Thymine-DNA glycosylase.

Editorial summary

“SUMO3” enters the record as protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what SUMO3, protein-coding and gene can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2002—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around SUMO3, protein-coding and gene.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“SUMO3” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, SUMO3, protein-coding and gene provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18031611. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2002.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.

Three-step research path

  1. Establish the record: confirm the title “SUMO3”, its source revision and the description used here.
  2. Expand the search: follow SUMO3 primary sources, SUMO3 archive and SUMO3 research across catalogues and specialist indexes.
  3. Test the account: compare the strongest cited source with the responsible institution’s current record and note any disagreement.

Questions for further research

  1. Which source most directly establishes the central claim about “SUMO3”?
  2. Which observation, specimen, dataset or publication supports the account?
  3. Has classification or technical consensus changed since the cited source?
