Proteins classified as transcription factors constitute a disproportionate number of SUMOylation targets. In most cases SUMOylation inhibits transcriptional activation, however in some cases such as TP53 (p53) SUMOylation can enhance activation. Inhibition of transcription by SUMOylation may be due to interference with DNA binding, re-localization to inactive nuclear bodies, or recruitment of repressive cofactors such as histone deacetylases (reviewed in Girdwood et al. 2004, Gill 2005).

MDM2 in a complex with CDKN2A (p14-ARF) SUMOylates TP53 (p53) with SUMO2,3 at lysine-386 (Stindt et al. 2011, Hendriks et al. 2014, Tammsalu et al. 2014). SUMOylation decreases transcriptional activation by TP53 at some genes and decreases repression by TP53 at other genes (Stindt et al. 2011).
PIAS4 SUMOylates TP53BP1 with SUMO1 in response to double-strand breaks in DNA (Galanty et al. 2009, Impens et al. 2014). Overall, like TP53BP1, SUMO1,2,3, UBE2I, PIAS1 and PIAS4 are all observed to accumulate at double-strand breaks.
PIAS3 SUMOylates MITF with SUMO1 at lysine-289 and lysine-423 (lysine-182 and lysine-316 of the M2 isoform, Miller et al. 2005). SUMOylation reduces transcriptional activation by MITF at promoters containing multiple binding sites for MITF.
PIAS1 SUMOylates SP3 with SUMO1 at lysine-551 (Ross et al. 2002, Sapetschnig et al. 2002, Sapetschnig et al. 2004, Spengler et al. 2005, Ellis et al. 2006, Impens et al. 2014). A minor amount of SUMOylation is also observed at lysine-120 (Ross et al. 2002). The effects of SUMOylation on the activities of isoforms of SP3 are promoter-dependent (Sapetschnig et al. 2004). Generally SUMOylation reduces the transcription activation capacity of the long and the short isoforms of Sp3 (Ross et al. 2002, Sapetschnig et al 2004, Ellis et al 2006). Mechanistically, SUMO attachment to Sp3 serves as a molecular beacon for the recruitment of chromatin-modifying machineries that impose epigenetic silencing (inferred from Drosophila homologs in Stielow et al. 2008a, inferred from mouse homologs in Stielow et al. 2008b).
PIAS1,3,4 SUMOylate MTA1 with SUMO2,3 at lysine-509 (Cong et al. 2011). SUMOylation increases the repressor activity of MTA1 at the PS2 promoter (Cong et al. 2011).
PIAS1 SUMOylates SP3 with SUMO2 at lysine-551 (Sapetschnig et al. 2002, Galisson et al. 2011, Tammsalu et al. 2014, Hendriks et al. 2015). SUMOylation reduces the transcription activation capacity of the long and the short isoforms of Sp3 (Sapetschnig et al 2004). Mechanistically, SUMO attachment to Sp3 serves as a molecular beacon for the recruitment of chromatin-modifying machineries that impose epigenetic silencing (inferred from Drosophila homologs in Stielow et al. 2008a, inferred from mouse homologs in Stielow et al. 2008b).
