Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

CSN facilitates Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase function by counteracting autocatalytic adapter instability.

Wee S, Geyer RK, Toda T, Wolf DA

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is known to bind cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) and to promote their activity in vivo. The mechanism of this stimulation has remained enigmatic because CSN's intrinsic and associated enzymatic activities paradoxically inhibit CRL activity in vitro. Reconciling this paradox, we show here that Csn5-catalysed cullin (Cul) deneddylation and Ubp12-mediated deubiquitination cooperate in maintaining the stability of ... [more]
