Ubiquitin system: JAMMing in the name of the lid

Abstract

The isopeptide bonds formed by ubiquitin or its relatives are cleaved by hydrolases with active site cysteines. Recent studies have revealed that similar metalloprotease motifs--JAMMs--in the Rpn11 subunit of the 26S proteasome lid and in the Csn5 subunit of the COP9 signalosome are involved in deubiquitination and deneddylation, respectively.
