Small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) is a type I ubiquitin-like protein family member and is covalently attached to various target proteins. Through this post-translational modification, SUMO plays important roles in various cellular events. Here, we show that SUMO is secreted from cultured cells in an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi-independent manner and that this secretion occurs without covalent binding to target proteins or chain formation. Overexpression experiments using C-terminally truncated mutants of SUMO revealed that the secretion requires the C-terminal sequence. Recombinant SUMO-3 protein was capable of binding to and promoting the proliferation of cultured cells. Thus, we propose that SUMO functions as a cytokine-like molecule extracellularly.
