  • Title: Are Inositol Polyphosphates the Missing Link in Dynamic Cullin RING Ligase Regulation by the COP9 Signalosome?
    Author: Zhang X, Rao F.
    Journal: Biomolecules; 2019 Aug 07; 9(8):. PubMed ID: 31394817.
    Abstract:
    The E3 ligase activity of Cullin RING Ligases (CRLs) is controlled by cycles of neddylation/deneddylation and intimately regulated by the deneddylase COP9 Signalosome (CSN), one of the proteasome lid-CSN-initiation factor 3 (PCI) domain-containing "Zomes" complex. Besides catalyzing the removal of stimulatory Cullin neddylation, CSN also provides a docking platform for other proteins that might play a role in regulating CRLs, notably protein kinases and deubiquitinases. During the CRL activity cycle, CRL-CSN complexes are dynamically assembled and disassembled. Mechanisms underlying complex dynamics remain incompletely understood. Recently, the inositol polyphosphate metabolites (IP6, IP7) and their metabolic enzymes (IP5K, IP6K) have been discovered to participate in CRL-CSN complex formation as well as stimulus-dependent dissociation. Here we discuss these mechanistic insights in light of recent advances in elucidating structural basis of CRL-CSN complexes.
