Abstract excerpt
The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a multisubunit regulator highly conserved in evolution. We show here that CSN subunit 8 (CSN8) is essential for Drosophila development. CSN8 is maternally contributed and present throughout development. Null mutants generated in this study are larval lethal, showing phenotypes associated with mutations in either CSN4 (molting defects) or CSN5 (melanotic tumors). Analysis of mitotic...
