Oligomerization of the HECT ubiquitin ligase NEDD4-2/NEDD4L is essential for polyubiquitin chain assembly
The NEDD4-2 (neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4-2) HECT ligase catalyzes polyubiquitin chain assembly by an ordered two-step mechanism requiring two functionally distinct E2 approximate to ubiquitin-binding sites, analogous to the trimeric E6AP/UBE3A HECT ligase. This conserved catalytic mechanism suggests that NEDD4-2, and presumably all HECT ligases, requires oligomerization to catalyze polyubiquitin chain assembly. To explore this hypothesis, we examined the catalytic mechanism of NEDD4-2 through the use of biochemically defined kinetic assays examining rates of I-125-labeled polyubiquitin chain assembly and biophysical techniques. The results from gel filtration chromatography and dynamic light-scattering analyses demonstrate for the first time that active NEDD4-2 is a trimer. Homology modeling to E6AP revealed that the predicted intersubunit interface has an absolutely conserved Phe-823, substitution of which destabilized the trimer and resulted in a 10(4)-fold decrease in k(cat) for polyubiquitin chain assembly. The small-molecule Phe-823 mimic, N-acetylphenylalanyl-amide, acted as a noncompetitive inhibitor (K-i = 8 +/- 1.2 mm) of polyubiquitin chain elongation by destabilizing the active trimer, suggesting a mechanism for therapeutically targeting HECT ligases. Additional kinetic experiments indicated that monomeric NEDD4-2 catalyzes only HECT approximate to ubiquitin thioester formation and monoubiquitination, whereas polyubiquitin chain assembly requires NEDD4-2 oligomerization. These results provide evidence that the previously identified sites 1 and 2 of NEDD4-2 function in trans to support chain elongation, explicating the requirement for oligomerization. Finally, we identified a conserved catalytic ensemble comprising Glu-646 and Arg-604 that supports HECT-ubiquitin thioester exchange and isopeptide bond formation at the active-site Cys-922 of NEDD4-2.
