COP9 signalosome complex subunit 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COPS2 gene. [3] [4] [5] It encodes a subunit of the COP9 signalosome.
COPS2 has been shown to interact with:
The nuclear receptor co-repressor 1 also known as thyroid-hormone- and retinoic-acid-receptor-associated co-repressor 1 (TRAC-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCOR1 gene.
DAX1 is a nuclear receptor protein that in humans is encoded by the NR0B1 gene. The NR0B1 gene is located on the short (p) arm of the X chromosome between bands Xp21.3 and Xp21.2, from base pair 30,082,120 to base pair 30,087,136.
Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MBD2 gene.
COP9 signalosome complex subunit 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COPS6 gene.
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit E (eIF3e) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF3E gene.
COUP-TF1 also known as NR2F1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR2F1 gene. This protein is a member of nuclear hormone receptor family of steroid hormone receptors.
Thyroid hormone receptor alpha (TR-alpha) also known as nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group A, member 1 (NR1A1), is a nuclear receptor protein that in humans is encoded by the THRA gene.
COP9 constitutive photomorphogenic homolog subunit 5 (Arabidopsis), also known as COPS5 or Csn5, is a gene conserved from humans to Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Proteasome activator complex subunit 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PSME2 gene.
Cullin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CUL2 gene.
Retinoblastoma-binding protein 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RBBP8 gene.
COP9 signalosome complex subunit 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COPS3 gene. It encodes a subunit of the COP9 signalosome.
COP9 signalosome complex subunit 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COPS4 gene.
COP9 signalosome complex subunit 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COPS8 gene.
Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) also known as interferon consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRF8 gene. IRF8 is a transcription factor that plays critical roles in the regulation of lineage commitment and in myeloid cell maturation including the decision for a common myeloid progenitor (CMP) to differentiate into a monocyte precursor cell.
COP9 signalosome complex subunit 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPS1 gene.
COP9 signalosome complex subunit 7a is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COPS7A gene.
COP9 signalosome complex subunit 7b is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COPS7B gene.
Histone deacetylase complex subunit SAP130 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SAP130 gene.
COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a protein complex with isopeptidase activity. It catalyses the hydrolysis of NEDD8 protein from the cullin subunit of Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRL). Therefore, it is responsible for CRL deneddylation – at the same time, it is able to bind denedyllated cullin-RING complex and retain them in deactivated form. COP9 signalosome thus serves as a sole deactivator of CRLs. The complex was originally identified in plants, and subsequently found in all eukaryotic organisms including human. Human COP9 signalosome consists of 8 subunits - CSN1, CSN2, CSN3, CSN4, CSN5, CSN6, CSN7, CSN8. All are essential for full function of the complex and mutation in some of them is lethal in mice.
