Dynamic nuclear SUMO modifications play essential roles in orchestrating cellular responses to proteotoxic stress, DNA damageand DNA virus infections. Here, we describe the host SUMOylation response to the nuclear-replicating RNA pathogen, influenz A virus. Using quantitative proteomics to compare SUMOylation responses to various stresses (including heat-shock), we reveal that influenza A virus infection causes unique re-targeting of SUMO1 and SUMO2 to a diverse range of host proteins involved in transcription, mRNA processing, RNA quality control and DNA damage repair. This global characterization of influenza virus-triggered SUMO remodeling provides a proteomic resource to understand host nuclear SUMOylation responses to infection.
