Function
SENP1_HUMAN Protease that catalyzes two essential functions in the SUMO pathway: processing of full-length SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3 to their mature forms and deconjugation of SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3 from targeted proteins. Deconjugates SUMO1 from HIPK2. Deconjugates SUMO1 from HDAC1, which decreases its transcriptional repression activity.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier)-specific protease SENP1 (sentrin-specific protease 1) can process the three forms of SUMO to their mature forms and deconjugate SUMO from modified substrates. It has been demonstrated previously that SENP1 processed SUMO-1 more efficiently than SUMO-2, but displayed little difference in its ability to deconjugate the different SUMO paralogues from modified substrates. To determine the basis for this substrate specificity, we have determined the crystal structure of SENP1 in isolation and in a transition-state complex with SUMO-2. The interface between SUMO-2 and SENP1 has a relatively poor complementarity, and most of the recognition is determined by interaction between the conserved C-terminus of SUMO-2 and the cleft in the protease. Although SENP1 is rather similar in structure to the related protease SENP2, these proteases have different SUMO-processing activities. Electrostatic analysis of SENP1 in the region where the C-terminal peptide, removed during maturation, would project indicates that it is the electrostatic complementarity between this region of SENP1 and the C-terminal peptides of the various SUMO paralogues that mediates selectivity.
The structure of SENP1-SUMO-2 complex suggests a structural basis for discrimination between SUMO paralogues during processing.,Shen LN, Dong C, Liu H, Naismith JH, Hay RT Biochem J. 2006 Jul 15;397(2):279-88. PMID:16553580[5]
