Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia
and associated with multiple organ systems complications. The incidence and
prevalence of diabetes are increasing in an epidemic proportion worldwide. In addition to
environmental factors, some epigenetic and post-translational modifications have critical
roles in the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications. Reversible covalent modification
such as SUMOylation by SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) has emerged as a
new mechanism that affects the dynamic regulation of proteins. In this review, we initially
focus on the function of SUMO and SUMOylation. Subsequently, we assess the potential
effects of this process in the pathogenesis of type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus.
