          Abstract

          Neddylation, a process that conjugates the ubiquitin-like polypeptide NEDD8 to cullin proteins, activates cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs). Deneddylation, in which the COP9 signalosome (CSN) removes NEDD8 from cullins, inactivates CRLs. However, genetic studies of CSN function conclude that deneddylation also promotes CRL activity. It has been proposed that a cyclic transition through neddylation and deneddylation is required for the regulation of CRL activity in vivo. Recent discoveries suggest that an additional level of complexity exists, whereby CRL components are targets for degradation, mediated either by autocatalytic ubiquitination or by unknown mechanisms. Deneddylation by CSN and deubiquitylation by CSN-associated ubiquitin-specific protease 12 protect CRL components from cellular depletion, thus maintaining the physiological CRL activities.
