E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4 (NEDD4)

The protein contains 1319 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 149114 Da.

 

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Specifically ubiquitinates 'Lys-63' in target proteins (PubMed:23644597). Involved in the pathway leading to the degradation of VEGFR-2/KDFR, independently of its ubiquitin-ligase activity. Monoubiquitinates IGF1R at multiple sites, thus leading to receptor internalization and degradation in lysosomes. Ubiquitinates FGFR1, leading to receptor internalization and degradation in lysosomes. Promotes ubiquitination of RAPGEF2. According to PubMed:18562292 the direct link between NEDD4 and PTEN regulation through polyubiquitination described in PubMed:17218260 is questionable. Involved in ubiquitination of ERBB4 intracellular domain E4ICD. Involved in the budding of many viruses. Part of a signaling complex composed of NEDD4, RAP2A and TNIK which regulates neuronal dendrite extension and arborization during development. Ubiquitinates TNK2 and regulates EGF-induced degradation of EGFR and TNF2. Ubiquitinates BRAT1 and this ubiquitination is enhanced in the presence of NDFIP1 (PubMed:25631046).(Microbial infection) Involved in the ubiquitination of Ebola virus protein VP40 which plays a role in viral budding.

CLONING

Kumar et al. (1992) identified Nedd4 as one of a group of mouse genes that show developmentally regulated expression in mouse embryonic brain. Kumar et al. (1997) showed that Nedd4 is expressed in various other embryonic tissues and persists in most adult tissues. Using antibody raised against a fusion protein, they demonstrated that the Nedd4 protein is localized to the cellular cytoplasm. Kumar et al. (1997) reported that the human NEDD4 protein has 86% amino acid identity with the mouse protein. It has homology to ubiquitin-protein ligases and contains 4 protein-protein interaction (WW) domains and a calcium/phospholipid binding domain. By sequencing clones obtained from a size-fractionated human immature myeloid cell line cDNA library, Nagase et al. (1995) cloned NEDD4, which they designated KIAA0093. The deduced protein has a C2 domain and is homologous with mouse Nedd4, with which it shares 84% identity. Northern blot analysis detected NEDD4 in all tissues and cell lines examined, except brain. Imhof and McDonnell (1996) identified NEDD4, which they symbolized RPF1, as the human homolog of yeast RSP5.

MAPPING

Using a human-rodent hybrid panel, Nagase et al. (1995) mapped the NEDD4 gene to chromosome 15. By homology and by fluorescence in situ hybridization, Kumar et al. (1997) mapped the NEDD4 gene to chromosome 15q. By interspecific backcross analysis, they mapped the mouse Nedd4 gene to mouse chromosome 9.

GENE FUNCTION

Imhof and McDonnell (1996) found that both human NEDD4 and yeast RSP5 potentiate hormone-dependent activation of transcription by the human progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors. They used mutant proteins to show that neither the ubiquitin-protein ligase activity nor the WW domains are absolutely required for the potentiation of the steroid receptors. In Xenopus oocyte studies, Abriel et al. (1999) demonstrated that overexpression of wildtype NEDD4 together with epithelial sodium channel (ENaC; see SCNN1A, 600228) inhibited activity of the channel; catalytically inactive NEDD4 stimulated it. These effects were dependent on the presence of C-terminal PY motifs of ENaC, and changes in channel activity were due entirely to alterations in ENaC numbers at the plasma membrane. Abriel et al. (1999) concluded that NEDD4 is a negative regulator of ENaC and suggested that loss of NEDD4 binding sites in ENaC observed in Liddle syndrome (177200 and see, e.g., 600760.0001) might explain the increase in channel number at the cell surface, increased sodium resorption by the distal nephron, and hence hypertension in that disorder. Using Far Western assays, Harvey et al. (2001) found that the WW domains of NEDD4 bind with strong affinity to all 3 subunits of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC): SCNN1A (600228), SCNN1B (600760), and SCNN1G (600761). They concluded that both NEDD4 and the related gene KIAA0439 (NEDD4L; 606384) may play a role in the regulation of ENaC function. RNA polymerase II (RNAPII; see 180660) becomes ubiquitinated and degraded in response to DNA damage. Anindya et al. (2007) identified NEDD4 as an E3 ubiquitin ligase and found that it associated with and ubiquitinated RNAPII in response to ultraviolet-induced DNA damage in human cells. NEDD4-dependent RNAPII ubiquitination could be reconstituted in vitro in the presence of purified UBA1 (UBE1; 314370) and UBCH7 (UBE2L3; 603721) and epitope-tagged ubiquitin (see 191339). Anindya et al. (2007) found that DNA lesion ... More on the omim web site
