COP9 signalosome

Definition

Target type: cellularcomponent

A protein complex that catalyzes the deneddylation of proteins, including the cullin component of SCF ubiquitin E3 ligase; deneddylation increases the activity of cullin family ubiquitin ligases. The signalosome is involved in many regulatory process, including some which control development, in many species; also regulates photomorphogenesis in plants; in many species its subunits are highly similar to those of the proteasome. [PMID:11019806, PMID:12186635, PMID:14570571]

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a multiprotein complex that plays a crucial role in regulating diverse cellular processes, including protein degradation, signal transduction, and cell cycle progression. It is a highly conserved complex found in eukaryotes and is composed of eight subunits: CSN1 (also known as Nedd8-specific protease 1 or COPS1), CSN2 (COPS2), CSN3 (COPS3), CSN4 (COPS4), CSN5 (COPS5), CSN6 (COPS6), CSN7 (COPS7), and CSN8 (COPS8).

The CSN complex is primarily localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm, where it interacts with various protein substrates and regulatory factors. The core structure of the CSN complex resembles a crown-like shape, with a central platform composed of CSN1, CSN2, and CSN3, which are involved in substrate recognition and binding. This central platform is flanked by two arms, each formed by a pair of subunits: CSN4-CSN5 and CSN6-CSN7. CSN8, the smallest subunit, associates with the CSN1-CSN2-CSN3 platform.

The CSN complex functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB), specifically targeting the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 (Neural Precursor Cell Expressed Developmentally Down-regulated protein 8). NEDD8 conjugation (NEDDylation) to cullin proteins, a family of scaffold proteins involved in ubiquitination, is a crucial step in activating cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs). CRLs are multi-subunit E3 ligases responsible for tagging proteins with ubiquitin, leading to their degradation by the proteasome. The CSN complex, through its deNEDDylation activity, regulates the activity of CRLs by removing NEDD8 from cullin proteins, thereby controlling the ubiquitination process and protein degradation.

Beyond its role in protein degradation, the CSN complex is implicated in various other cellular processes. For instance, it influences signal transduction pathways by regulating the activity of signaling molecules, such as NF-κB, a transcription factor involved in inflammation and immune responses. It also participates in cell cycle regulation by controlling the levels of key cell cycle regulators, such as cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Additionally, the CSN complex is linked to developmental processes, including plant development and embryogenesis.

The CSN complex represents a highly regulated and intricate molecular machine that plays a central role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by controlling protein degradation, signal transduction, and cell cycle progression. Its diverse functions highlight its essential role in the regulation of cellular processes and its involvement in various cellular events. '
