Function
[NEDD4_HUMAN] 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. 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. 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.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The four WW domains of human Nedd4-1 (neuronal precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated gene 4-1) interact with the PPxY (PY) motifs of the human epithelial Na+ channel (hENaC) subunits, with the third WW domain (WW3*) showing the highest affinity. We have shown previously that the alpha-hENaC PY motif binding interface of WW3* undergoes conformational exchange on the millisecond time scale, indicating that conformational sampling plays a role in peptide recognition. To further understand this role, the structure and dynamics of hNedd4-1 WW3* were investigated. The nuclear Overhauser effect-derived structure of apo-WW3* resembles the domain in complex with the alpha-hENaC peptide, although particular side chain conformations change upon peptide binding, which was further investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Model-free analysis of the 15N nuclear magnetic resonance spin relaxation data showed that the apo and peptide-bound states of WW3* have similar backbone picosecond to nanosecond time scale dynamics. However, apo-WW3* exhibits pronounced chemical exchange on the millisecond time scale that is quenched upon peptide binding. 1HN and 15N Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) relaxation dispersion experiments at various temperatures revealed that apo-WW3* exists in an equilibrium between the natively folded peptide binding-competent state and a random coil-like denatured state. The thermodynamics of the folding equilibrium was determined by fitting a thermal denaturation profile monitored by circular dichroism spectroscopy in combination with the CPMG data, leading to the conclusion that the unfolded state is populated to approximately 20% at 37 degrees C. These results show that the binding of the hNedd4-1 WW3* domain to alpha-hENaC is coupled to the folding equilibrium.
