- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed · 2 references
Subasumstat binds and forms an adduct with SUMO, stopping the protein from transferring from the SUMO-activating enzyme to SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBC9. Downstream, this stops many sumoylated protein-mediated pathways from occurring in tumor cells, like DNA repair, metastasis, and proliferation. Subasumstat is also able to increase the production of type 1 interferon, which activates antitumor immune responses in cells and signals for increased tumor cell death.
