Subasumstat (TAK-981)

SUMO Activating Enzyme Inhibitor Solid Tumors, Hematologic Malignancies

Overview1-3

- SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational modification that regulates protein function by covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins to protein substrates

- TAK-981 is a first-in-class, small molecule inhibitor of SUMO Activating Enzyme (SAE)

- SUMOylation has been reported to play a key role in inhibiting Type I interferon (IFN) responses

- Inhibition of SUMOylation by TAK-981 promotes Type I IFN dependent innate and adaptive antitumor immune responses

MOA2

- TAK-981 is a small molecule that binds covalently to SUMO and inhibits SAE2 (an E1 activating enzyme) and the downstream SUMOylation of targeted substrates

- Inhibition of SUMOylation has diverse biological consequences, including potential effects on the innate and adaptive immune system
