We have previously reported the existence of multiple isoforms of human Nedd4-2 (AJP Renal 2003, 285: F916). When overexpressed in M-1 collecting duct epithelia, full length Nedd4-2 (Nedd4-2), Nedd4-2 lacking the N-terminal C2 domain (Nedd4-2{Delta}C2) and Nedd4-2 lacking WW domains 2 and 3 (Nedd4-2{Delta}WW2,3) variably reduce benzamil-sensitive Na+ transport. We investigated the effect of each of the Nedd4-2 isoforms on cell-surface expression and ubiquitination of ENaC subunits. We find that {alpha}ENaC when transfected alone or with {beta} and {gamma}ENaC is expressed at the cell surface and this membrane expression is variably reduced by co-expression with each of the Nedd4-2 isoforms. Nedd4-2 reduces the half life of ENaC subunits and enhances the ubiquitination of {alpha}, {beta} and {gamma} ENaC subunits when expressed alone or together suggesting that each subunit is a target for Nedd4-2 mediated ubiquitination. As has been reported recently, we confirm that the surface expressed pool of ENaC is multi-ubiquitinated. Inhibitors of the proteasome increase ubiquitination of ENaC subunits and stimulate Na+ transport in M-1 cells consistent with a role for the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in regulating Na+ transport in the collecting duct.
