Translational regulation of the expression of the ubiquitin E3 ligase Nedd4-1 by mTORC1-dependent signaling.

ABSTRACT: We found recently that mTORC1 regulates the biosynthesis of the ubiquitin E3 ligase Nedd4-1, but not the close homolog Nedd4-2. This regulatory process plays a key role in promoting neurite growth in neurons of the mammalian central nervous system. The molecular mechanism underlying this rather specific regulation likely involves a pyrimidine-rich sequence stretch near the putative transcriptional start site within the 5' untranslated region of the Nedd4-1 mRNA, which may play a crucial role in directing the assembly of the protein translation machinery. We postulate that the Nedd4-1 mRNA is a major target of the local translation machinery within neurons that can be translated in a spatially and temporally controlled manner in response to various stimuli. Based on this model, neuronal Nedd4-1 may not only be involved in the regulation of neurite growth but also in axon guidance, spine formation, and synaptic plasticity.

Ubiquitin E3 ligase Nedd4-1 acts as a downstream target of PI3K/PTEN-mTORC1 signaling to promote neurite growth.

Project description:Protein ubiquitination is a core regulatory determinant of neural development. Previous studies have indicated that the Nedd4-family E3 ubiquitin ligases Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2 may ubiquitinate phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and thereby regulate axonal growth in neurons. Using conditional knockout mice, we show here that Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2 are indeed required for axonal growth in murine central nervous system neurons. However, in contrast to previously published data, we demonstrate that PTEN is not a substrate of Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2, and that aberrant PTEN ubiquitination is not involved in the impaired axon growth upon deletion of Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2. Rather, PTEN limits Nedd4-1 protein levels by modulating the activity of mTORC1, a protein complex that controls protein synthesis and cell growth. Our data demonstrate that Nedd4-family E3 ligases promote axonal growth and branching in the developing mammalian brain, where PTEN is not a relevant substrate. Instead, PTEN controls neurite growth by regulating Nedd4-1 expression.

Expression and regulatory network of E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4 family in cancers.

Project description:NEDD4 family represent an important group of E3 ligases, which regulate various cellular pathways of cell proliferation, cell junction and inflammation. Emerging evidence suggested that NEDD4 family members participate in the initiation and development of tumor. In this study, we systematically investigated the molecular alterations as well as the clinical relevance regarding NEDD4 family genes in 33 cancer types. Finally, we found that NEDD4 members showed increased expression in pancreas cancer and decreased expression in thyroid cancer. NEDD4 E3 ligase family genes had an average mutation frequency in the range of 0-32.1%, of which HECW1 and HECW2 demonstrated relatively high mutation rate. Breast cancer harbors large amount of NEDD4 copy number amplification. NEDD4 family members interacted proteins were enriched in various pathways including p53, Akt, apoptosis and autophagy, which were confirmed by further western blot and flow cytometric analysis in A549 and H1299 lung cancer cells. In addition, expression of NEDD4 family genes were associated with survival of cancer patients. Our findings provide novel insight into the effect of NEDD4 E3 ligase genes on cancer progression and treatment in the future.

Adaptor linked K63 di-ubiquitin activates Nedd4/Rsp5 E3 ligase.

Project description:Nedd4/Rsp5 family E3 ligases mediate numerous cellular processes, many of which require the E3 ligase to interact with PY motif containing adaptor proteins. Several arrestin-related trafficking adaptors (ARTs) of Rsp5 were self-ubiquitinated for activation, but the regulation mechanism remains elusive. Remarkably, we demonstrate that Art1, Art4, and Art5 undergo K63-linked di-ubiquitination by Rsp5. This modification enhances the plasma membrane recruitment of Rsp5 by Art1 or Art5 upon substrate induction, required for cargo protein ubiquitination. In agreement with these observations, we find that di-ubiquitin strengthens the interaction between the pombe orthologs of Rsp5 and Art1, Pub1, and Any1. Furthermore, we discover that the homologous to E6AP C-terminus (HECT) domain exosite protects the K63-linked di-ubiquitin on the adaptors from cleavage by the deubiquitination enzyme Ubp2. Together, our study uncovers a novel ubiquitination modification implemented by Rsp5 adaptor proteins, underscoring the regulatory mechanism of how adaptor proteins control the recruitment, and activity of Rsp5 for the turnover of membrane proteins.

HECT E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Nedd4 Is Required for Antifungal Innate Immunity.

Project description:Candida albicans is the most common cause of fungal infections in humans, and disseminated candidiasis has become one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections with a high mortality rate. However, little is known about the host-pathogen interactions and the mechanisms of antifungal immunity. Here, we report that Nedd4 (neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated 4) is essential for signaling through Dectin-1 and Dectin-2/3. We showed that mice that lack Nedd4 globally or only in the myeloid compartment are highly susceptible to systemic C. albicans infection, which correlates with heightened organ fungal burden, defective inflammatory response, impaired leukocyte recruitment to the kidneys, and defective reactive oxygen species expression by granulocytes. At the molecular level, Nedd4 -/- macrophages displayed impaired activation of TGF-β-activating kinase-1 and NF-κB, but normal activation of spleen tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C-δ on C. albicans yeast and hyphal infections. These data suggest that Nedd4 regulates signaling events downstream of protein kinase C-δ but upstream of or at TGF-β-activating kinase-1.

Down-regulation of active ACK1 is mediated by association with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2.

Project description:ACK1 (activated Cdc42-associated kinase 1) is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase implicated in trafficking through binding to epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and clathrin. Here, we have identified a new ACK1-binding partner, the E3 ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2, which binds ACK1 via a conserved PPXY-containing region. We show that this motif also binds Nedd4-related proteins and several other WW domain-containing proteins, including the tumor suppressor oxidoreductase Wwox. In HeLa cells ACK1 colocalizes with Nedd4-2 in clathrin-rich vesicles, requiring this PPXY motif. Nedd4-2 strongly down-regulates ACK1 levels when coexpressed, and this process can be blocked by proteasome inhibitor MG132. ACK1 degradation via Nedd4 requires their mutual interaction and a functional E3 ligase; it is also driven by ACK1 activity. ACK1 is polyubiquitinated in vivo, and dominant inhibitory Nedd4 blocks endogenous ACK1 turnover in response to acute EGF treatment. Because EGF stimulation activates ACK1 ( Galisteo, M., Y., Y., Urena, J., and Schlessinger, J. (2006) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 103, 9796-9801 ), our result suggest that EGF receptor-mediated ACK1 activation allows Nedd4-2 to drive kinase degradation. Thus the interplay between Nedd4-2-related E3 ligases that regulate ACK1 levels and Cbl that modifies EGF receptor impinges on cell receptor dynamics. These processes are particularly pertinent given the report of genomic amplification of the ACK1 locus in metastatic tumors.

The ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2 mediates the regulation of PepT2 by mTORC1 in bovine mammary epithelial cells.

Project description:Peptide transporter 2 (PepT2) transports short peptides from the blood into bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMEC) to stimulate milk protein synthesis. Despite the fact that the effect of PepT2 is acknowledged in BMEC, little is known about its regulation. This study was completed to investigate the role of mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in regulating the expression and function of PepT2 in BMEC. The regulation of PepT2 by mTOR in BMEC was studied in vitro using peptide transport assay, gene silencing, Western blot. The membrane expression of PepT2 and the uptake of β-Ala-Lys-N-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin-3-acetic acid (β-Ala-Lys-AMCA), a model dipeptide, in BMEC were reduced by rapamycin (a mTOR inhibitor) and silencing of either mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) or mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2), stimulated by DEP domain-containing mTOR-interacting protein (DEPTOR, endogenous inhibitor of mTORC1 and mTORC2) silencing. The trafficking of PepT2 to the membrane and the uptake of β-Ala-Lys-AMCA was promoted by neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4 isoform 2 (Nedd4-2) silencing. The effects of knockdown of mTORC1, but not mTORC2, on cell membrane expression and transport activity of PepT2 was abolished by Nedd4-2 silencing. With immunofluorescence staining, PepT2 was identified to be interacting with Nedd4-2. The Nedd4-2 expression and the interaction between PepT2 and Nedd4-2 was increased through mTORC1 knockdown, indicating an increased ubiquitination of PepT2. The results revealed that mTORC1 can regulate the expression and function of PepT2 through Nedd4-2 in BMEC.

E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b regulates Pten via Nedd4 in T cells independently of its ubiquitin ligase activity.

Project description:E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b plays a crucial role in T cell activation and tolerance induction. However, the molecular mechanism by which Cbl-b inhibits T cell activation remains unclear. Here, we report that Cbl-b does not inhibit PI3K but rather suppresses TCR/CD28-induced inactivation of Pten. The elevated Akt activity in Cbl-b(-/-) T cells is therefore due to heightened Pten inactivation. Suppression of Pten inactivation in T cells by Cbl-b is achieved by impeding the association of Pten with Nedd4, which targets Pten K13 for K63-linked polyubiquitination. Consistent with this finding, introducing Nedd4 deficiency into Cbl-b(-/-) mice abrogates hyper-T cell responses caused by the loss of Cbl-b. Hence, our data demonstrate that Cbl-b inhibits T cell activation by suppressing Pten inactivation independently of its ubiquitin ligase activity.

E3 ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2 exerts neuroprotective effects during endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Project description:The neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 4-like (Nedd4-2) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase critical for neurodevelopment and homeostasis of neural circuit excitability. While dysregulation of Nedd4-2 has been linked to elevated seizure susceptibility through impaired ubiquitination of multiple direct substrates, it remains largely unclear whether Nedd4-2 interconnects other cellular pathways that affect neuronal activity and seizure susceptibility. Here, we first showed that Nedd4-2 associates with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and regulates the expression of multiple ER-resident proteins. Furthermore, utilizing Nedd4-2 conditional knockout mice, we showed that Nedd4-2 is required for the maintenance of spontaneous neural activity and excitatory synapses following the induction of ER stress. When analyzing activation of the canonical pathways of ER stress response, we found that Nedd4-2 is required for phosphorylation of eIF2α. While phosphorylation of eIF2α has been shown to reduce seizure susceptibility, attempts to facilitate phosphorylation of eIF2α in Nedd4-2 conditional knockout mice failed to produce such a beneficial function, suggesting a role for Nedd4-2 in integrating the ER stress response to modulate seizure susceptibility. Altogether, our study demonstrates neuroprotective functions of Nedd4-2 during ER stress in neurons and could provide insight into neurological diseases in which the expression or activity of Nedd4-2 is impaired.

HECT domain-containing E3 ubiquitin ligase Nedd4 interacts with and ubiquitinates Sprouty2.

Project description:Sprouty (Spry) proteins are important regulators of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in development and disease. Alterations in cellular Spry content have been associated with certain forms of cancers and also in cardiovascular diseases. Thus, understanding the mechanisms that regulate cellular Spry levels are important. Herein, we demonstrate that Spry1 and Spry2, but not Spry3 or Spry4, associate with the HECT domain family E3 ubiquitin ligase, Nedd4. The Spry2/Nedd4 association involves the WW domains of Nedd4 and requires phosphorylation of the Mnk2 kinase sites, Ser(112) and Ser(121), on Spry2. The phospho-Ser(112/121) region on Spry2 that binds WW domains of Nedd4 is a novel non-canonical WW domain binding region that does not contain Pro residues after phospho-Ser. Endogenous and overexpressed Nedd4 polyubiquitinate Spry2 via Lys(48) on ubiquitin and decrease its stability. Silencing of endogenous Nedd4 increased the cellular Spry2 content and attenuated fibroblast growth factor-elicited ERK1/2 activation that was reversed when elevations in Spry2 levels were prevented by Spry2-specific small interfering RNA. Mnk2 silencing decreased Spry2-Nedd4 interactions and also augmented the ability of Spry2 to inhibit fibroblast growth factor signaling. This is the first report demonstrating the regulation of cellular Spry content and its ability to modulate receptor tyrosine kinase signaling by a HECT domain-containing E3 ubiquitin ligase.

Negative regulation of NEMO signaling by the ubiquitin E3 ligase MARCH2.

Project description:NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) is a key regulatory protein that functions during NF-κB- and interferon-mediated signaling in response to extracellular stimuli and pathogen infections. Tight regulation of NEMO is essential for host innate immune responses and for maintenance of homeostasis. Here, we report that the E3 ligase MARCH2 is a novel negative regulator of NEMO-mediated signaling upon bacterial or viral infection. MARCH2 interacted directly with NEMO during the late phase of infection and catalyzed K-48-linked ubiquitination of Lys326 on NEMO, which resulted in its degradation. Deletion of MARCH2 resulted in marked resistance to bacterial/viral infection, along with increased innate immune responses both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, MARCH2-/- mice were more susceptible to LPS challenge due to massive production of cytokines. Taken together, these findings provide new insight into the molecular regulation of NEMO and suggest an important role for MARCH2 in homeostatic control of innate immune responses.
