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
E3 ligases are genetically implicated in many human diseases, yet E3 enzyme mechanisms are not fully understood, and there is a strong need for pharmacological probes of E3s. We report the discovery that the HECT E3 Nedd4-1 is a processive enzyme and that disruption of its processivity by biochemical mutations or small molecules switches Nedd4-1 from a processive to a distributive mechanism of polyubiquitin chain synthesis. Furthermore, we discovered and structurally characterized the first covalent inhibitor of Nedd4-1, which switches Nedd4-1 from a processive to a distributive mechanism. To visualize the binding mode of the Nedd4-1 inhibitor, we used X-ray crystallography and solved the first structure of a Nedd4-1 family ligase bound to an inhibitor. Importantly, our study shows that processive Nedd4-1, but not the distributive Nedd4-1:inhibitor complex, is able to synthesize polyubiquitin chains on the substrate in the presence of the deubiquitinating enzyme USP8. Therefore, inhibition of E3 ligase processivity is a viable strategy to design E3 inhibitors. Our study provides fundamental insights into the HECT E3 mechanism and uncovers a novel class of HECT E3 inhibitors.
