The COP9 signalosome (CSN) regulates Cullin–RING E3 ligases (CRLs) through deneddylation and complex stabilization. However, the specific molecular functions of individual CSN subunits remain unclear. In this study, we identified CSN4 as a critical regulator of DDB1 stability and CRL4 function during the cellular response to DNA damage. CSN4 binds directly to DDB1, and its loss leads to the destabilization of DDB1, reduced CRL4 assembly, and impaired DNA damage-induced ubiquitination. The DDB1 K ...[more]
