HCN channels are important regulators of neuronal excitability. The proper function of these channels is governed by various mechanisms, including post-translational modifications of channel subunits. Here, we provide evidence that ubiquitination via a ubiquitin ligase, neuronal precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated (Nedd)-4-2, is involved in the regulation of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels. We identified a PY motif (L/PPxY), the characteristic binding motif for Nedd4-2 in the C terminus of the HCN1 subunit, and showed that HCN1 and Nedd4-2 interacted both in vivo (rat hippocampus, neocortex, and cerebellum) and in vitro [human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells], resulting in increased HCN1 ubiquitination. Elimination of the PY motif reduced, but did not abolish, Nedd4-2 binding, which further involved a stretch of ∼100 aa downstream in the HCN1 C terminus. Coexpression of Nedd4-2 and HCN1 drastically reduced the HCN1-mediated h-current amplitude (85-92%) in Xenopus laevis oocytes and reduced surface expression (34%) of HCN1 channels in HEK293 cells, thereby opposing effects of tetratricopeptide repeat-containing Rab8b interacting protein (TRIP8b)-(1a-4), an auxiliary subunit that promotes HCN1 surface expression. Regulation may further include N-glycosylation of HCN1 channels, which is significantly enhanced by TRIP8b(1a-4), but may be reduced by Nedd4-2. Taken together, our data indicate that Nedd4-2 plays an important role in the regulation of HCN1 trafficking and may compete with TRIP8b(1a-4) in this process.
HCN 通道是神经元兴奋性的重要调节因子。这些通道的正常功能受多种机制调控,包括通道亚基的翻译后修饰。在这里,我们提供的证据表明,泛素连接酶神经元前体细胞表达的发育下调蛋白(Nedd)-4-2 通过泛素化作用参与调节超极化激活的环核苷酸门控(HCN)通道。我们在 HCN1 亚基的 C 端鉴定出一个 PY 基序(L/PPxY),这是 Nedd4-2 的特征结合基序,并表明 HCN1 和 Nedd4-2 在体内(大鼠海马体、新皮层和小脑)和体外(人胚肾 293 细胞)相互作用,导致 HCN1 泛素化增加。消除 PY 基序减少了,但没有消除 Nedd4-2 的结合,这进一步涉及到 HCN1 C 端下游约 100 个氨基酸的延伸。Nedd4-2 和 HCN1 的共表达在非洲爪蟾卵母细胞中大大降低了 HCN1 介导的 h-电流幅度(85-92%),并降低了 HCN1 通道在人胚肾 293 细胞中的表面表达(34%),从而拮抗了辅助亚基四肽重复结构域含 Rab8b 相互作用蛋白(TRIP8b)-(1a-4)的作用,该辅助亚基促进 HCN1 的表面表达。调节可能还包括 HCN1 通道的 N-糖基化,这一过程明显受 TRIP8b(1a-4)增强,但可能受 Nedd4-2 减弱。综上所述,我们的数据表明 Nedd4-2 在 HCN1 运输的调节中起着重要作用,并且可能在这个过程中与 TRIP8b(1a-4)竞争。
