Abstract
The present disclosure describes pan-SUMO trapping proteins and fusion proteins comprising the pan-SUMO trapping proteins that are stable and bind SUMO-modified proteins with high avidity. The proteins described herein can be used to detect the localization of SUMO-modified proteins cells. The proteins described herein can be used to identify biomarkers for diseases associated with oxidative stress. They can also be used to diagnose and monitor diseases associated with genotoxic and/or proteotoxic stress conditions.
