High impact information on Senp2

  • On substitution of Ser for Cys(547) in the catalytic domain, Axam lost its desumoylation activity [1].
  • Over-expression of XSENP1 in vivo inhibited dorso-anterior development of Xenopus embryos and suppressed Wnt signalling target gene expression in a manner similar to Axam [2].
