op: Mass spectrometry, along with other methods, reveals that the protein CSNAP is the ninth subunit of the COP9 signalosome (CSN) complex. Bottom: COP9 complex subunits compared with those of the 19S proteasome suggest that CSNAP is the corresponding subunit to the smallest proteasome protein, filling in the puzzle of the “missing piece
