    Abstract

    HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligases of the NEDD4 family control many cellular processes, but their regulation is poorly understood. They contain multiple WW domains that recognize PY elements. Here, we show that the small PY-containing membrane proteins, NDFIP1 and NDFIP2 (NEDD4 family-interacting proteins), activate the catalytic activity of ITCH and of several other HECT ligases by binding to them. This releases them from an autoinhibitory intramolecular interaction, which seems to be characteristic of these enzymes. Activation of ITCH requires multiple PY-WW interactions, but little else. Binding of NDFIP proteins is highly dynamic, potentially allowing activated ligases to access other PY-containing substrates. In agreement with this, NDFIP proteins promote ubiquitination in vivo both of Jun proteins, which have a PY motif, and of endophilin, which does not.

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Gene
        Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.
      • Gene (GeneRIF)
        Gene records that have the current articles as Reference into Function citations (GeneRIFs). NLM staff reviewing the literature while indexing MEDLINE add GeneRIFs manually.
      • HomoloGene
        HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.
