== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CSN4_HUMAN CSN4_HUMAN] Component of the COP9 signalosome complex (CSN), a complex involved in various cellular and developmental processes. The CSN complex is an essential regulator of the ubiquitin (Ubl) conjugation pathway by mediating the deneddylation of the cullin subunits of SCF-type E3 ligase complexes, leading to decrease the Ubl ligase activity of SCF-type complexes such as SCF, CSA or DDB2. Also involved in the deneddylation of non-cullin subunits such as STON2. The complex is also involved in phosphorylation of p53/TP53, c-jun/JUN, IkappaBalpha/NFKBIA, ITPK1, IRF8/ICSBP and SNAPIN, possibly via its association with CK2 and PKD kinases. CSN-dependent phosphorylation of TP53 and JUN promotes and protects degradation by the Ubl system, respectively.<ref>PMID:9535219</ref> <ref>PMID:11285227</ref> <ref>PMID:11337588</ref> <ref>PMID:12732143</ref> <ref>PMID:12628923</ref> <ref>PMID:21102408</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs) are the largest family of E3 ligases, with ubiquitination activity dynamically regulated by neddylation and deneddylation by the COP9 signalosome (CSN). CSN-mediated deneddylation not only deactivates CRLs but also enables substrate receptor exchange. Although CSN is a promising drug target, the structural basis underlying its catalytic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to uncover distinct functional states of CSN-CRL (SCF) complexes, capturing key intermediates of the deneddylation cycle. We visualise an autoinhibited docking state and a catalytic intermediate in which CSN5 Ins-1 loop, RBX1 RING and neddylated Cullin WHB domains are repositioned for isopeptide cleavage. We further resolve four dissociation intermediates that define the stepwise release of CSN from its product, with RBX1 RING stabilising key interactions. Additionally, our structures locate CSNAP within a CSN3-CSN8 groove. Together, our study provides a mechanistic model for CSN function and informs the rational design of CSN-targeted therapeutics.
