The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a multiprotein complex containing eight subunits and is highly conserved from fungi to human. CSN is proposed to widely participate in many physiological processes, including protein degradation, DNA damage response and signal transduction. Among those subunits, only CSN5 and CSN6 belong to JAMM family. CSN5 possesses isopeptidase activity, but CSN6 lacks this ability. Here we report the 2.5Å crystal structure of MPN domain from Drosophila melanogaster CSN6. Structural comparison with other MPN domains, along with bioinformation analysis, suggests that MPN domain from CSN6 may serve as a scaffold instead of a metalloprotease.

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, is marked by cartilage degradation and pathological alterations in surrounding tissues. Currently, no effective disease-modifying treatments exist. This study aimed to elucidate the critical roles of Myb-like, SWIRM, and MPN domains 1 (MYSM1) and its downstream effector, Receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2), in OA pathogenesis and the underlying mechanisms.

Anthracycline antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) induces severe cardiotoxicity. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are crucial for protein stability and function and play a significant role in cardiac pathophysiology. By comparing RNA sequencing datasets and conducting functional screening, we determined that Myb-like, SWIRM, and MPN domains 1 (MYSM1) is a key regulator of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Ecotropic viral integration site 1 (EVI1/MECOM) is frequently upregulated in myeloid malignancies. Here, we present an Evi1-transgenic mouse model with inducible expression in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Upon induction of Evi1 expression, mice displayed anemia, thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, and erythroid and megakaryocyte dysplasia with a significant expansion of committed myeloid progenitor cells, resembling human myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm-like (MDS/MPN-like) disease.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how cognitive impairment, fatigue, and mood disorders interact in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) by examining brain atrophy patterns across different patient profiles.
  • - Researchers categorized MS patients into four clusters based on their cognitive performance, fatigue, anxiety, and depression, using k-means clustering to identify distinct patterns among them.
  • - The findings revealed that cognitive tests and mental health factors significantly impact disability scores, with specific clusters showing correlations between cognitive impairment and levels of fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
