Targeted inhibition of the COP9 signalosome for treatment of cancer

Dysregulation of protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system is a feature commonly associated with cancer. Here, the authors develop an orally available small molecule that inhibits CSN5, the proteolytic subunit of the COP9 signalosome, and blocks tumour growth in a xenograft model.
