SUMO-1 is a small ubiquitin-related modifier protein that is covalently linked to many cellular and viral protein targets. Modification by SUMO-1 is proposed to play a role in protein targeting and/or stability. We show here that adenovirus type 5 early region 1B 55-kDa (E1B-55kDa) oncoprotein can be covalently modified by SUMO-1 in vivo through a major attachment site comprising a single lysine residue at amino acid position 104. The sequence surrounding this lysine matches the proposed PsiKxE consensus motif required for SUMO-1 conjugation. A single mutation (K104R) that abolishes SUMOylation of E1B-55kDa dramatically reduces the ability of the adenovirus type 5 protein to transform primary baby rat kidney cells in cooperation with E1A and to inhibit p53-mediated transactivation. Overexpression of SUMO-1 in adenovirus type 5 E1A/E1B-55kDa-transformed baby rat kidney cells causes the relocalization of E1B-55kDa from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, where it accumulates with SUMO-1 in dot- or track-like structures. Significantly, when SUMO-1 is ectopically expressed in transformed rat cells no effect on the cytoplasmic localization of the E1B-K104R mutant protein is observed. Our results demonstrate that SUMO-1 modification is required for transformation by adenovirus type 5 E1B-55kDa and provide further evidence for the idea that this posttranslational modification plays a role in protein targeting to specific subcellular sites.
