SENP1 contains a nuclear localization signal in its N-terminus required for nuclear accumulation; mutation of this NLS causes cytoplasmic accumulation. The N-terminus also regulates protease activity, as expression of the core catalytic domain alone leads to constitutive activity. SENP1 is a cysteine protease (key catalytic cysteine required); a catalytic-dead mutant (C→A) acts as dominant negative, accumulating high-MW SUMO-1 conjugates. SENP1 itself can be SUMO-1 modified, and its localization is influenced by SUMO-1-conjugated target proteins. |

SENP1 enhances androgen receptor (AR)-dependent transcription not by deSUMOylating AR itself, but by deSUMOylating HDAC1, thereby reducing HDAC1 deacetylase activity. RNAi depletion of HDAC1 reduces SENP1's transcriptional effect, placing HDAC1 deSUMOylation downstream of SENP1 in AR coactivation. |

Crystal structure of SENP1 catalytic domain mutant C603S in complex with SUMO-1 resolved at 2.8 Å. The active-site cysteine (C603) is essential; C603S is catalytically inactive. Structure reveals a conformational change (self-conformational change) required prior to cleavage. Four unique SENP1 residues at the SUMO-1 interface determine substrate binding specificity. SENP1 can also hydrolyze the thioester linkage in E1-SUMO and E2-SUMO complexes. |
