Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2026 Title: Structural basis of CSN-mediated SCF deneddylation. Authors: Shan Ding / Julie A Clapperton / Märt-Erik Mäeots / Simone Kunzelmann / Mohammed Shaaban / Radoslav I Enchev / Abstract: 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 ...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.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
