The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is an eight-subunit complex that regulates multiple signaling and cell cycle pathways. Here we link the CSN to the degradation of Cyclin E, which promotes the G1-S transition in the cell cycle and then is rapidly degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Using CSN4 and CSN5/Jab1 mutants, we show that the CSN acts during Drosophila oogenesis to remove Nedd8 from Cullin1, a subunit of the SCF ubiquitin ligase. Overexpression of Cyclin E causes similar defects as mutations in CSN or SCF(Ago) subunits: extra divisions or, in contrast, cell cycle arrest and polyploidy. Because the phenotypes are so similar and because CSN and Cyclin E mutations reciprocally suppress each other, Cyclin E appears to be the major target of the CSN during early oogenesis. Genetic interactions among CSN, SCF, and proteasome subunits further confirm CSN involvement in ubiquitin-mediated Cyclin E degradation.

Csn2 (Trip15/Cops2/Alien) encodes the second subunit of the COP9 signalosome (CSN), an eight-subunit heteromeric complex homologous to the lid subcomplex of the 26S proteasome. CSN is a regulator of SCF (Skp1-cullin-F-box protein)ubiquitin ligases, mostly through the enzymatic activity that deconjugates the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8 from the SCF Cul1 component. In addition, CSN associates with protein kinase activities targeting p53, c-Jun, and IkappaB for phosphorylation. Csn2 also interacts with and regulates a subset of nuclear hormone receptors and is considered a novel corepressor. We report that targeted disruption of Csn2 in mice caused arrest of embryo development at the peri-implantation stage. Csn2(-/-) blastocysts failed to outgrow in culture and exhibited a cell proliferation defect in inner cell mass, accompanied by a slight decrease in Oct4. In addition, lack of Csn2 disrupted the CSN complex and resulted in a drastic increase in cyclin E, supporting a role for CSN in cooperating with the SCF-ubiquitin-proteasome system to regulate protein turnover. Furthermore, Csn2(-/-) embryos contained elevated levels of p53 and p21, which may contribute to premature cell cycle arrest of the mutant.

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a multiprotein complex that was initially identified in plants as a repressor of photomorphogenesis. It is now known to play major roles in several other developmental pathways, from auxin response to flower development. Furthermore, the COP9 signalosome shares homologies with the lid sibcomplex of the proteasome and is evolutionarily conserved from fission yeast to humans. It is important for the proper development of virtually all higher eukaryotes. In recent years, significant progress has been made in unraveling the molecular, cellular, and physiological mode of action of the COP9 signalosome. This review discusses our current understanding of the COP9 signalosome function with particular emphasis on its recently defined role in modulating a wide variety of cellular processes by regulating specific protein degradation events.

Two groups have recently reported ubiquitin-deconjugating activities associated with the COP9 signalosome (CSN). Together with a previously identified deneddylation activity, CSN now appears to possess biochemical activities towards the cullin-containing ubiquitin ligases (e.g. deneddylation) and ubiquitinated protein substrates in the proteasome-mediated degradation processes (e.g. deubiquitination). Here, we discuss how these findings support a central role for CSN in ubiquitination of substrate proteins and their proteolysis

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is composed of eight distinct subunits and is highly homologous to the lid sub-complex of the 26S proteasome. CSN was initially defined as a repressor of photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis, and it has now been found to participate in diverse cellular and developmental processes in various eukaryotic organisms. Recently, CSN was revealed to have a metalloprotease activity centered in the CSN5/Jab1 subunit, which removes the post-translational modification of a ubiquitin-like protein, Nedd8/Rub1, from the cullin component of SCF ubiquitin E3 ligase (i.e., de-neddylation). In addition, CSN is associated with de-ubiquitination activity and protein kinase activities capable of phosphorylating important signaling regulators. The involvement of CSN in a number of cellular and developmental processes has been attributed to its control over ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated protein degradation.

The Int-6 gene is a site of mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) integration in murine tumours and INT6 protein has been identified independently as a subunit (eIF3e) of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF3. In addition, the protein can interact with two other multi-subunit complexes: the COP9 signalosome (CSN) and the proteasome. The role of INT6 in tumourigenesis is nonetheless currently unclear. Here, using immunofluorescence microscopy, we show that eIF3e/INT6 is localized in part to the nucleus, while other eIF3 components are cytoplasmic. Primary human fibroblasts, but not their transformed counterparts, showed reduced nuclear INT6 staining in some cells, and this reduction was maximal in early S phase. This variation in eIF3e/INT6 may indicate regulated shuttling between cellular compartments and would be consistent with the presence of a nuclear export signal as well as a nuclear localization signal in the protein sequence. Loss of regulation of eIF3e/INT6 redistribution may therefore be a significant feature of malignancy in human cells.

The COP9 Signalosome (CSN), a highly conserved eight-subunit complex, is found in all higher eukaryotes. It contains eight core subunits, named CSN1-8, in order of decreasing molecular weight. The CSN is structurally similar to the regulatory lid of 26S proteasome and the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF3. CSN is also now known to play an essential role in signaling processes controlling many aspects of plant and Drosophila development. Taken together, the various genetic studies demonstrate that the CSN is involved at the nexus between multiple signal inputs and a variety of downstream regulatory cascades controlling specific aspects of cellular differentiation. Research in various organisms has converged onto the notion that CSN is biochemically linked to ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation. Other proposed roles for the CSN include regulating eIF3 and kinase signaling. CSN is itself is both a target for kinase activity and associates with and coordinates activity of kinases. CSN-associated kinases. This kinase activity further regulates the ubiquitin-dependent degradation of various transcription factors. This review concentrates on the proposed activity of the CSN as a regulator of protein phosphorylation.

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a conserved multiprotein complex, with an important developmental role in several organisms, ranging from plants to mammalians. The influence of the CSN on several signaling and developmental processes has been ascribed to its ability to regulate degradation of a number of signaling proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The CSN controls the function of the SCF ubiquitin-ligase complex through an enzymatic activity that removes the small ubiquitin-like molecule NEDD8 from the cullin component of the SCF and that requires subunit 5 of the CSN (JAB1/CSN5). Mutants of the CSN display early embryonic lethality, a feature that has hindered further characterization of the role of the CSN at later stages of mammalian development. Here we report the analysis of JAB1/CSN5 expression pattern in the mouse embryo. At early stages of development, JAB1/CSN5 transcripts were present with low expression levels in all tissues. Preferential expression in selected tissues was detected starting at E11.5, with higher levels in dorsal root ganglia; at later stages, prominent expression of JAB1/CSN5 transcripts was observed in cranial nerve, spinal and sympathetic ganglia, as well as in selected epithelia, such as the oral and the olfactory epithelium. In the adult brain, additional areas of JAB1/CSN5 expression were the hippocampus and the Purkinjie layer of the cerebellum. We also analyzed the temporal and spatial expression pattern of NEDD8, and found that it substantially overlapped JAB1/CSN5 expression at all stages analyzed, supporting the model of a functional interaction between the two proteins during developmental processes.

COP10 is a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme variant (UEV), which is thought to act together with COP1, DET1, and the COP9 signalosome (CSN) in Arabidopsis to repress photomorphogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that COP10 interacts with ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) in vivo, and can enhance their activity in vitro, an activity distinct from previous characterized UEVs such as MMS2 and UEV1. Furthermore, we show that COP10 forms a complex with UV-damaged DNA-binding protein 1a (DDB1a) and de-etiolated 1 (DET1), and physically interacts with COP1 and the CSN. Purified CDD (COP10, DDB1, DET1) complex also shows enhancement of E2 activity (UEA) similar to that observed with COP10 itself. Our data suggests that COP10, along with COP1 and the CSN, promotes the degradation of positive regulators of photomorphogenesis, such as the transcription factor HY5, via the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system. Thus, the CDD complex may act as a ubiquitylation-promoting factor to regulate photomorphogenesis.

Recently, evidence is accumulating pointing to a function of the COP9 signalosome (CSN) in regulation of ubiquitination by specific ubiquitin ligases. Here, we demonstrate by mammalian two-hybrid analysis that the transcriptional regulators and substrates of the ubiquitin system Id1 and Id3, but not Id2 and Id4, bind to the CSN subunit CSN5. Pull-down experiments revealed that Id3 physically interacts with the CSN complex. Additional far Western and pull-down studies with Id3 support our two-hybrid data and show that the transcription regulator can bind to CSN5 and CSN7. Recombinant Id3 is not phosphorylated by the CSN-associated kinases CK2 and PKD. However, it inhibits c-Jun and CSN2 phosphorylation by the isolated CSN complex and by the recombinant CK2. The inhibitors of CSN associated kinases, curcumin and emodin, significantly induce ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation of transiently expressed Id3 in HeLa cells. Proteasome-dependent degradation of endogenous Id1 in HeLa cells is also stimulated by treatment with curcumin or emodin. Ubiquitination of Id3 is shown directly by cotransfection of HeLa cells with Id3 and His-ubiquitin cDNA. Curcumin increased Id3-ubiquitin conjugate formation, as shown by Western blotting and His-pull-downs. In addition, overexpression of CSN2 leads to stabilization of Id3 protein. On the basis of these data, it is speculated that CSN-mediated phosphorylation inhibits ubiquitination of Id1 and Id3.
