COP9 signalosome complex subunit 6 (COPS6)

The protein contains 327 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 36163 Da.

 

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. The complex is also involved in phosphorylation of p53/TP53, c-jun/JUN, IkappaBalpha/NFKBIA, ITPK1 and IRF8, 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. Has some glucocorticoid receptor-responsive activity. Stabilizes COP1 through reducing COP1 auto-ubiquitination and decelerating COP1 turnover rate, hence regulates the ubiquitination of COP1 targets. (updated: April 25, 2018)

Cop9 signalosome, subunit 6; cops6
Csn6
Mov34 family, 34-kd member

DESCRIPTION

COPS6 is a subunit of the highly conserved COP9 signalosome (CSN) complex, which is involved in checkpoint control, signal transduction, development, and the cell cycle. The COP9 signalosome complex has a major role in controlling protein stability via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (review by Kato and Yoneda-Kato, 2009).

CLONING

By searching EST databases using the sequence of the p47 subunit of EIF3 (EIF3F; 603914) as probe to identify proteins related to MOV34 (PSMD7; 1579770), Asano et al. (1997) identified mouse and human COPS6, which they called the 34-kD MOV34 homolog. The deduced human protein contains 297 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 33.6 kD. In their review, Kato and Yoneda-Kato (2009) noted that CSN6 contains an MPN domain, which is also found in subunits of the proteasome lid complex (e.g., RPN8, or PSMD7) and in some subunits of the eIF3 complex (e.g., EIF3F).

GENE FUNCTION

The 14-3-3-sigma (SFN; 601290) gene, which is upregulated by p53 (TP53; 191170) in response to DNA damage, exists in a positive-feedback loop with p53 to prevent mitotic checkpoint dysfunction. Choi et al. (2011) showed that COPS6 contributed to degradation of 14-3-3-sigma in human cell lines by stabilizing the ubiquitin ligase COP1 (RFWD2; 608067). COPS6 function did not require expression of p53. Gel-filtration and Western blot analyses revealed that COPS6 interacted directly with COP1 and 14-3-3-sigma in a large COP9 molecular complex. Coimmunoprecipitation and protein pull-down assays revealed that the N-terminal region of COPS6 interacted directly with the C-terminal region of COP1. Overexpression of COPS6 resulted in stabilization of COP1 and increased 14-3-3-sigma polyubiquitination and degradation, which in turn relieved 14-3-3-sigma-mediated inhibition of the downstream prosurvival kinase AKT (164730) and facilitated cell growth. Conversely, knockdown of COPS6 via short hairpin RNA reduced 14-3-3-sigma ubiquitination, suppressed AKT phosphorylation and activity, and increased cell sensitivity to apoptotic stress. Choi et al. (2011) concluded that COPS6 is involved in a signaling network that regulates cell growth.

BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES

- Crystal Structure Lingaraju et al. (2014) presented the crystal structure of the entire 350-kD human CSN holoenzyme at 3.8-angstrom resolution, detailing the molecular architecture of the complex. CSN has 2 organizational centers: a horseshoe-shaped ring created by its 6 proteasome lid-CSN-initiation factor-3 domain proteins, and a large bundle formed by the carboxy-terminal alpha-helices of every subunit. CSN5 (COPS5; 604850) and its dimerization partner, CSN6, are intricately embedded at the core of the helical bundle. In the substrate-free holoenzyme, CSN5 is autoinhibited, which precludes access to the active site. Lingaraju et al. (2014) found that neddylated cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase binding to CSN is sensed by CSN4 (COPS4; 616008), and communicated to CSN5 with the assistance of CSN6, resulting in activation of the deneddylase.

MAPPING

Hartz (2012) mapped the COPS6 gene to chromosome 7q22.1 based on an alignment of the COPS6 sequence (GenBank GENBANK BC002520) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). ... More on the omim web site
