The human PIAS proteins are small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) E3 ligases that participate in important cellular functions. Several of these functions depend on a conserved SUMO-interacting motif (SIM) located in the central region of all PIAS proteins (SIM1). Recently, it was determined that Siz2, a yeast homolog of PIAS proteins, possesses a second SIM at its C terminus (SIM2). Sequence alignment indicates that a SIM2 is also present in PIAS1-3, but not PIAS4. Using biochemical and structural studies, we demonstrate PIAS-SIM2 binds to SUMO1, but that phosphorylation of the PIAS-SIM2 or acetylation of SUMO1 alter this interaction in a manner distinct from what is observed for the PIAS-SIM1. We also show that the PIAS-SIM2 plays a key role in formation of a UBC9-PIAS1-SUMO1 complex. These results provide insights into how post-translational modifications selectively regulate the specificity of multiple SIMs found in the PIAS proteins by exploiting the plasticity built into the SUMO-SIM binding interface.
