NEDD4 — NEDD4 E3 ubiquitin protein ligase

NEDD4 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

About the gene

Function

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. Specifically ubiquitinates 'Lys-63' in target proteins. 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 (By similarity). Ubiquitinates FGFR1, leading to receptor internalization and degradation in lysosomes. Promotes ubiquitination of RAPGEF2. According to the direct link between NEDD4 and PTEN regulation through polyubiquitination described in is questionable. Involved in ubiquitination of ERBB4 intracellular domain E4ICD (By similarity). Part of a signaling complex composed of NEDD4, RAP2A and TNIK which regulates neuronal dendrite extension and arborization during development (By similarity). Ubiquitinates TNK2 and regulates EGF-induced degradation of EGFR and TNF2. Ubiquitinates BRAT1 and this ubiquitination is enhanced in the presence of NDFIP1. Ubiquitinates DAZAP2, leading to its proteasomal degradation. Ubiquitinates POLR2A. Functions as a platform to recruit USP13 to form an NEDD4-USP13 deubiquitination complex that plays a critical role in cleaving the 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitin chains of VPS34 and then stabilizing VPS34, thus promoting the formation of autophagosomes. (Microbial infection) Involved in the ubiquitination of Ebola virus protein VP40 which plays a role in viral budding
