  overall_research_project_description: 'Protein subcellualr localization is critical for its cellular function. Recently, our lab uncovered a new mechanism that controls protein subcellular localization through SUMOylation, a process in which SUMO proteins are covalently attached to specific lysine residues in target proteins. SUMOylation is important for stress response, cell cycle,  DNA damage repair, and other cellular processes. SUMOylation imbalances can cause cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The current focus of our lab is to understand how SUMOylation regulates the subcellular localization of key mitotic players and how SUMOylation is regulated during cell cycle. '
