    motifs/domains
  • a HECT domain (homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus) and ubiquitin-binding site located in the HECT domain that plays a role in the regulation of polyubiquitin chain length
  • a C2 domain that binds phosphoinositides particularly PI(3)P, which is enriched on endosomal membranes (Klos Dehring 2008)and has a Ca2+-dependent association with cellular membranes
  • four WW domains
  • HOMOLOGY

    text C2 domain is necessary for translocating NEDD4L to the plasma membrane to effectively interact with cell surface SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1C
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in the regulation of ENaC function (negative regulation of epithelial sodium channel)
  • ubiquitin-protein ligase (ubiquitination)
  • major inactivating enzyme for SCNN1A in urinary tubular cells
  • in response to Ca2+, may be mobilized to the apical membrane via its C2 domain, where it binds SCNN1A via NEDD4L-WW:SCNN1A-PY motif interactions, leading to ubiquitination of the channel by the NEDD4L-HECT domain, with subsequent channel endocytosis and lysosomal degradation
  • regulator of renal sodium channels, that is shown to play a broader role as a general modulator of Smad turnover during TGF-beta signal transduction
  • regulate the epithelial Na+ channel by its ubiquitination and removal from the plasma membrane
  • may regulate TRPV6 protein abundance in intestinal epithelia by controlling TRPV6 ubiquitination (
  • may regulate TRPV6 ubiquitination and degradation at different rates by regulating their interaction (
  • can suppress the onset of cystic fibrosis symptoms by inhibiting SCNN1A in lung epithelia
  • having protective regulatory role against the development of cystic fibrosis
  • ubiquitin ligase that targets the epithelial sodium channel for degradation, and plays a role in the progression of various cancers
  • regulates the amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC/SCNN1) to mediate Na+ homeostasis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • member of HECT class of E3 ubiquitin ligases
  • CAV3, NEDD4L, and KCNH2 likely form a complex in the plasma membrane
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • ubiquination of RFA1
  • potent negative regulator of amiloride-sensitive epithelium sodium channel SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1G, SCNN1D
  • phosphorylated form of NEDD4L interacts with 14-3-3 proteins (interaction is dependent on SGK1-catalyzed phosphorylation at Ser-468)
  • differentially interacts with and regulates TTYH1-3, will be important for understanding mechanisms controlling Tweety proteins in physiology and disease
  • NEDD4L binds TNK2 via a conserved PPXY-containing region
  • binds the PY motif of SCNN1A C-terminals and catalyzes ubiquitination of the NH2 terminal of the protein for subsequent degradation
  • phosphorylation of the Pro-Gly-Ser-Pro motif within L1 of SCN8A is necessary for stress-induced current modulation, with positive or negative regulation depending upon the availability of the C-terminal Pro-Ser-Tyr motif to bind NEDD4L
  • NEDD4L mediated ubiquitination regulates the cell surface expression of SLC5A7
  • NEDD4, NEDD4L and ITCH mediate poly-ubiquitination of AMOT/p130
  • NDRG1 upregulates neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like (NEDD4L) and GLI-similar-3 (GLIS3)
  • CNKSR3 physically interacts with SCNN1A, B, D, NEDD4L, and SGK1 and stimulates SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1D function in a PDZ domain-dependent, aldosterone-induced manner
  • CAV3 enhances ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L interaction with mature KCNH2 channels in the plasma membrane, leading to decreased channel expression
  • RAB4A decreases the KCNH2 density at the plasma membrane by increasing the endogenous NEDD4L expression
  • WNK3 is an activator of SLC12A3, and NEDD4L is an inhibitor
  • proline-rich exons are modular cassettes that convert WNK1 into a NEDD4L substrate, thereby linking aldosterone and other NEDD4L-suppressing antinatriuretic hormones to SLC12A3 phosphorylation status
  • NDFIP1 is primarily localized in the Golgi apparatus where it recruits NEDD4L to mediate the degradation of mature KCNH2 proteins during channel trafficking to the plasma membrane
  • USP36 binds to and regulates the actions of NEDD4L over different substrates affecting their expression and functions
  • important negative regulatory function for NEDD4L and NDFIP1 in IgE-dependent mast cell activity
  • cell & other
