| Figure(s): | Figures 5-8 |
| Annotation description: | Figure 5: Nedd4-2 (NEDDL) is a ubiquitin E3 ligase that ubiquitinates GluA1 (GRIA1) at lysine-868 and mediate its surface expression in cortical neuron cultures. Figure 6, 7, 8: three epilepsy-associated missense mutations of Nedd4-2 (S233L, E271A, and H515P) exhibited reduced ability to ubiquitinate GluA1 in vitro. This also affected GluA1 surface expression. |

| Additional literature: | an isoform of Nedd4-2, in which a N-terminal C2 domain is missing, showed extremely low affinity in ubiquitinating GluA1 but does affect synaptic strength. "Our findings therefore indicate that both C2-containing and C2-lacking Nedd4-2s function to reduce excitatory synaptic strength although most likely via distinct mechanisms." @ PMID:31357244 Nedd4-2 mediates GluA1 ubiquitination upon chronic neuronal activity stimulation, suggesting a potential role of Nedd4-2 in homeostatic synaptic downscaling @ PMID:26250624 "We found that the impaired homeostatic synaptic downscaling in Fmr1 KO neurons is caused by loss-of-function dephosphorylation of an epilepsy-associated ubiquitin E3 ligase, neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated gene 4-2, Nedd4-2. Such dephosphorylation of Nedd4-2 is surprisingly caused by abnormally stable tumor suppressor p53 and subsequently destabilized kinase Akt. Dephosphorylated Nedd4-2 fails to elicit 14-3-3-dependent ubiquitination and down-regulation of the GluA1 subunit of AMPA receptor, and therefore impairs synaptic downscaling. Most importantly, using a pharmacological inhibitor of p53, Nedd4-2 phosphorylation, GluA1 ubiquitination and synaptic downscaling are all restored in Fmr1 KO neurons." @ PMID:29771335 |
