| Description | This entry includes eIF3m and COPS7A/B. eIF3m is a component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is involved in protein synthesis and, together with other initiation factors, stimulates binding of mRNA and methionyl-tRNAi to the 40S ribosome [ ]. The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a conserved protein complex that regulates the ubiquitin (Ubl) conjugation pathway by mediating the deneddylation of the cullin subunits of SCF-type E3 ligase complexes [ ], which leads to a decrease in Ubl ligase activity of SCF-type complexes such as SCF, CSA or DDB2 []. Protein kinases CK2 and D, which phosphorylate proteins such as cJun and p53 resulting in their degradation by the ubiquitin-26S proteasome system, also binds to CSN [, ]. The mammalian CSN typically consistis of eight subunits designated CSN1-CSN8. The fission yeast possesses a smaller version of the CSN, consisting only of six subunits, whereas a more distant CSN-like complex has been described in Saccharomyces cerevisiae []. |
