Lack of androgen receptor SUMOylation results in male infertility due to epididymal dysfunction

SUMOylation is known to regulate androgen receptor (AR) activity in cultured cells. Here, using SUMOylation-deficient AR knock-in mice, the authors demonstrate that SUMOylation is required for AR-related gene expression specifically in the epididymal tissues, but not the testis.
