Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2026Title: 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
