function:The dimeric enzyme acts as a E1 ligase for SUMO1, SUMO2, SUMO3, and probably SUMO4. It mediates ATP-dependent activation of SUMO proteins and formation of a thioester with a conserved cysteine residue on SAE2.,pathway:Protein modification; protein sumoylation.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the ubiquitin-activating E1 family.,subunit:Heterodimer of SAE1 and SAE2. The complex binds SUMO proteins via SAE2.,tissue specificity:Expression level increases during S phase and drops in G2 phase (at protein level).,
