Deskripsi
SUMOylation is a mechanism of posttranslational modification involved in eukaryotic cell homeostasis. Here the authors report that mice unable to control SUMOylation in the adrenal cortex develop a selective defect in glucocorticoid production due to disrupted differentiation of cells involved in steroid hormone synthesis.
