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.,similarity:Belongs to the ubiquitin-activating E1 family.,subunit:Heterodimer of SAE1 and SAE2. The complex binds SUMO proteins via SAE2.,

Function:
proteolysis, macromolecule catabolic process, modification-dependent protein catabolic process, protein catabolic process, modification-dependent macromolecule catabolic process, cellular protein catabolic process, cellular macromolecule catabolic process, proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process,

Cellular Localization:
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus, sumoylation is required either for nuclear translocation or nuclear retention.
