Popis: Activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5) is a member of the ATF/cAMP response element–binding protein family of transcription factors. ATF5 regulates stress responses and cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation and also plays a role in viral infections, cancer, diabetes, schizophrenia, and the olfactory system. Moreover, it was found to also have a critical cell cycle–dependent structural function at the centrosome. However, the mechanism that controls the localization of ATF5 at the centrosome is unclear. Here we report that ATF5 is small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) 2/3–modified at a conserved SUMO-targeting consensus site in various types of mammalian cells. We found that SUMOylation of ATF5 is elevated in the G(1) phase of the cell cycle and diminished in the G(2)/M phase. ATF5 SUMOylation disrupted the interaction of ATF5 with several centrosomal proteins and dislodged ATF5 from the centrosome at the end of the M phase. Of note, blockade of ATF5 SUMOylation deregulated the centrosome cycle, impeded ATF5 translocation from the centrosome, and caused genomic instability and G(2)/M arrest in HeLa cells. Our results indicate that ATF5 SUMOylation is an essential mechanism that regulates ATF5 localization and function at the centrosome.
