Graphical Abstract

Two opposing SUMO wrestlers: Simultaneous measurement of multiple SUMOylations was achieved at the single-molecule level by integrating SNAP/CLIP-tag-mediated translation with single-molecule detection (see scheme; SUMO=small ubiquitin-like modifier). This method gives exceptional sensitivity, and is capable of measuring the SUMOylation of different proteins under various physiological conditions.
