14-3-3-protein regulates Nedd4-2 by modulating interactions between HECT and WW domains.

ABSTRACT: Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated 4 ligase (Nedd4-2) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets proteins for ubiquitination and endocytosis, thereby regulating numerous ion channels, membrane receptors and tumor suppressors. Nedd4-2 activity is regulated by autoinhibition, calcium binding, oxidative stress, substrate binding, phosphorylation and 14-3-3 protein binding. However, the structural basis of 14-3-3-mediated Nedd4-2 regulation remains poorly understood. Here, we combined several techniques of integrative structural biology to characterize Nedd4-2 and its complex with 14-3-3. We demonstrate that phosphorylated Ser³⁴² and Ser⁴⁴⁸ are the key residues that facilitate 14-3-3 protein binding to Nedd4-2 and that 14-3-3 protein binding induces a structural rearrangement of Nedd4-2 by inhibiting interactions between its structured domains. Overall, our findings provide the structural glimpse into the 14-3-3-mediated Nedd4-2 regulation and highlight the potential of the Nedd4-2:14-3-3 complex as a pharmacological target for Nedd4-2-associated diseases such as hypertension, epilepsy, kidney disease and cancer.

Nedd4-2 binding to 14-3-3 modulates the accessibility of its catalytic site and WW domains.

Project description:Neural precursor cells expressed developmentally downregulated protein 4-2 (Nedd4-2), a homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus (HECT) ubiquitin ligase, triggers the endocytosis and degradation of its downstream target molecules by regulating signal transduction through interactions with other targets, including 14-3-3 proteins. In our previous study, we found that 14-3-3 binding induces a structural rearrangement of Nedd4-2 by inhibiting interactions between its structured domains. Here, we used time-resolved fluorescence intensity and anisotropy decay measurements, together with fluorescence quenching and mass spectrometry, to further characterize interactions between Nedd4-2 and 14-3-3 proteins. The results showed that 14-3-3 binding affects the emission properties of AEDANS-labeled WW3, WW4, and, to a lesser extent, WW2 domains, and reduces their mobility, but not those of the WW1 domain, which remains mobile. In contrast, 14-3-3 binding has the opposite effect on the active site of the HECT domain, which is more solvent exposed and mobile in the complexed form than in the apo form of Nedd4-2. Overall, our results suggest that steric hindrance of the WW3 and WW4 domains combined with conformational changes in the catalytic domain may account for the 14-3-3 binding-mediated regulation of Nedd4-2.

U24 from Roseolovirus interacts strongly with Nedd4 WW Domains.

Project description:U24 is a protein found in both roseoloviruses Human Herpes Virus type 6 and 7 (HHV-6 and HHV-7), with an N-terminus that is rich in prolines (PY motif in both HHV-6A and 7; PxxP motif in HHV-6A). Previous work has shown that the interaction between U24 and WW domains is important for endocytic recycling of T-cell receptors, but a cognate ligand was never identified. In this contribution, data was obtained from pull-downs, ITC, NMR and molecular dynamics simulations to show that a specific interaction exists between U24 and Nedd4 WW domains. ITC experiments were also carried out for U24 from HHV-6A phosphorylated at Thr6 (pU24-6A) and a peptide containing the PY motif from Nogo-A, a protein implicated in both the initial inflammatory and the neurodegenerative phases of multiple sclerosis (MS). The results suggest that phosphorylation of U24 from HHV-6A may be crucial for its potential role in MS.

Substrate clustering potently regulates the activity of WW-HECT domain-containing ubiquitin ligases.

Project description:The Nedd4 family of HECT domain-containing E3 ligases ubiquitinate many transcription factors and signaling proteins, and their activity is tightly regulated. Normally, intramolecular interactions curb the catalytic activity of the HECT domain, but these can be broken by the binding of PY motifs, found on substrate molecules and adaptors, to the WW domains characteristic of this E3 ligase family. This raises the prospect of substrates automatically activating the ligases, frustrating the purpose of ligase regulation. Here we show that soluble protein substrates and adaptors such as ? arrestins, even with multiple PY elements, cannot activate ligase activity efficiently. However, we found that polymerization or membrane tethering of these substrates dramatically increases the ligase activity both in vivo and in vitro Aggregation of luciferase-containing substrates upon heat shock had a similar effect and could also expose cryptic PY elements in the substrates. We inferred that ligase activation critically requires a substantial array of clustered PY motifs and that the formation of such arrays on membranes or in polymeric aggregates may be an essential step in this mode of ligase regulation. We conclude that recruitment of ? arrestins to membrane receptors and aggregation of unstable proteins after heat shock may be physiologically relevant mechanisms for triggering ubiquitination by Nedd4 family HECT domain-containing E3 ligases.

Tungsten Oxide Nanodots Exhibit Mild Interactions with WW and SH3 Modular Protein Domains.

Project description:Tungsten oxide nanodot (WO3-x ) is an active photothermal nanomaterial that has recently been discovered as a promising candidate for tumor theranostics and treatments. However, its potential cytotoxicity remains elusive and needs to be evaluated to assess its biosafety risks. Herein, we investigate the interactions between WO3-x and two ubiquitous protein domains involved in protein-protein interactions, namely, WW and SH3 domains, using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show that WO3-x interacts only weakly with the key residues at the putative proline-rich motif (PRM) ligand-binding site of both domains. More importantly, our free energy landscape calculations reveal that the binding strength between WO3-x and WW/SH3 is weaker than that of the native PRM ligand with WW/SH3, implying that WO3-x has a limited inhibitory effect over PRM on both the WW and SH3 domains. These findings suggest that the cytotoxic effects of WO3-x on the key modular protein domains could be very mild, which provides new insights for the future potential biomedical applications of this nanomaterial.

Interactions between AMOT PPxY motifs and NEDD4L WW domains function in HIV-1 release.

Project description:Like most enveloped viruses, HIV must acquire a lipid membrane as it assembles and buds through the plasma membrane of infected cells to spread infection. Several sets of host cell machinery facilitate this process, including proteins of the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport pathway, which mediates the membrane fission reaction required to complete viral budding, as well as angiomotin (AMOT) and NEDD4L, which bind one another and promote virion membrane envelopment. AMOT and NEDD4L interact through the four NEDD4L WW domains and three different AMOT Pro-Pro-x (any amino acid)-Tyr (PPxY) motifs, but these interactions are not yet well defined. Here, we report that individual AMOT PPxY and NEDD4L WW domains interact with the following general affinity hierarchies: AMOT PPxY1>PPxY2>PPxY3 and NEDD4L WW3>WW2>WW1∼WW4. The unusually high-affinity of the AMOT PPxY1-NEDD4L WW3 interaction accounts for most of the AMOT-NEDD4L binding and is critical for stimulating HIV-1 release. Comparative structural, binding, and virological analyses reveal that complementary ionic and hydrophobic contacts on both sides of the WW-PPxY core interaction account for the unusually high affinity of the AMOT PPxY1-NEDD4L WW3 interaction. Taken together, our studies reveal how the first AMOT PPxY1 motif binds the third NEDD4L WW domain to stimulate HIV-1 viral envelopment and promote infectivity.

Structural Studies of the Nedd4 WW Domains and Their Selectivity for the Connexin43 (Cx43) Carboxyl Terminus.

Project description:Neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4 (Nedd4) was the first ubiquitin protein ligase identified to interact with connexin43 (Cx43), and its suppressed expression results in accumulation of gap junction plaques at the plasma membrane. Nedd4-mediated ubiquitination of Cx43 is required to recruit Eps15 and target Cx43 to the endocytic pathway. Although the Cx43 residues that undergo ubiquitination are still unknown, in this study we address other unresolved questions pertaining to the molecular mechanisms mediating the direct interaction between Nedd4 (WW1-3 domains) and Cx43 (carboxyl terminus (CT)). All three WW domains display a similar three antiparallel β-strand structure and interact with the same Cx43CT(283)PPXY(286)sequence. Although Tyr(286)is essential for the interaction, MAPK phosphorylation of the preceding serine residues (Ser(P)(279)and Ser(P)(282)) increases the binding affinity by 2-fold for the WW domains (WW2 > WW3 ≫ WW1). The structure of the WW2·Cx43CT(276-289)(Ser(P)(279), Ser(P)(282)) complex reveals that coordination of Ser(P)(282)with the end of β-strand 3 enables Ser(P)(279)to interact with the back face of β-strand 3 (Tyr(286)is on the front face) and loop 2, forming a horseshoe-shaped arrangement. The close sequence identity of WW2 with WW1 and WW3 residues that interact with the Cx43CT PPXY motif and Ser(P)(279)/Ser(P)(282)strongly suggests that the significantly lower binding affinity of WW1 is the result of a more rigid structure. This study presents the first structure illustrating how phosphorylation of the Cx43CT domain helps mediate the interaction with a molecular partner involved in gap junction regulation.

Identification of multiple proteins expressed in murine embryos as binding partners for the WW domains of the ubiquitin-protein ligase Nedd4.

Project description:Nedd4 is a member of a growing family of ubiquitin-protein ligases which consist of a lipid-binding domain, two to four WW domains and a C-terminal ubiquitin-protein ligase domain. The Nedd4 mRNA levels are developmentally regulated and Nedd4 protein is highly expressed in many mouse embryonic tissues. In this study we have used a far-Western screen to identify embryonic proteins that interact with the WW domains in mouse Nedd4. We report here identification of eight Nedd4 WW-domain-interacting proteins from mouse embryonic cDNA expression libraries. Two of the proteins are novel, while two have been identified previously as ligands for a WW domain. All of these proteins contain one or more PY motifs. In seven of the eight proteins, these PY motifs are necessary for their interaction with the WW domains of Nedd4. Using site-directed mutagenesis, and by using individual WW domains of Nedd4 as probes for far-Western analysis, we show that the three WW domains in Nedd4 interact with varying affinities with the PY motifs present in various Nedd4-binding proteins. These results provide evidence that Nedd4 can potentially interact with multiple proteins, possibly simultaneously, through its WW domains.

Molecular Interactions between Two LMP2A PY Motifs of EBV and WW Domains of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase AIP4.

Project description:Interactions involving Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) LMP2A and Nedd4 family E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases promote the ubiquitination of LMP2A-associated proteins, which results in the perturbation of normal B-cell signaling. Here, we solved the solution structure of the WW2 domain of hAIP4 and investigated the binding mode involving the N-terminal domain of LMP2A and the WW2 domain. The WW2 domain presented a conserved WW domain scaffold with a three-stranded anti-parallel β-sheet and bound two PY motifs via different binding mechanisms. Our NMR titration and ITC data demonstrated that the PY motifs of LMP2A can recognize and interact weakly with the XP groove of the WW2 domain (residues located around the third β-strand), and then residues between two PY motifs optimize the binding by interacting with the loop 1 region of the WW2 domain. In particular, the residue Val15 in the hairpin loop region between β1 and β2 of the WW2 domain exhibited unique changes depending on the terminal residues of the PY motif. This result suggested that the hairpin loop is responsible for additional interactions outside the XP groove, and this hypothesis was confirmed in a deuterium exchange experiment. These weak but wide interactions can stabilize the complex formed between the PY and WW domains.

Rescue of HIV-1 release by targeting widely divergent NEDD4-type ubiquitin ligases and isolated catalytic HECT domains to Gag.

Project description:Retroviruses engage the ESCRT pathway through late assembly (L) domains in Gag to promote virus release. HIV-1 uses a PTAP motif as its primary L domain, which interacts with the ESCRT-I component Tsg101. In contrast, certain other retroviruses primarily use PPxY-type L domains, which constitute ligands for NEDD4-type ubiquitin ligases. Surprisingly, although HIV-1 Gag lacks PPxY motifs, the release of HIV-1 L domain mutants is potently enhanced by ectopic NEDD4-2s, a native isoform with a naturally truncated C2 domain that appears to account for the residual titer of L domain-defective HIV-1. The reason for the unique potency of the NEDD4-2s isoform has remained unclear. We now show that the naturally truncated C2 domain of NEDD4-2s functions as an autonomous Gag-targeting module that can be functionally replaced by the unrelated Gag-binding protein cyclophilin A (CypA). The residual C2 domain of NEDD4-2s was sufficient to transfer the ability to stimulate HIV-1 budding to other NEDD4 family members, including the yeast homologue Rsp5, and even to isolated catalytic HECT domains. The isolated catalytic domain of NEDD4-2s also efficiently promoted HIV-1 budding when targeted to Gag via CypA. We conclude that the regions typically required for substrate recognition by HECT ubiquitin ligases are all dispensable to stimulate HIV-1 release, implying that the relevant target for ubiquitination is Gag itself or can be recognized by divergent isolated HECT domains. However, the mere ability to ubiquitinate Gag was not sufficient to stimulate HIV-1 budding. Rather, our results indicate that the synthesis of K63-linked ubiquitin chains is critical for ubiquitin ligase-mediated virus release.
