Article Abstract
The bacterial effector protein cycle inhibiting factor (CIF) converts glutamine 40 of NEDD8 to glutamate (Q40E), causing cytopathic effects and inhibiting cell proliferation. Although these have been attributed to blocking the functions of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases, how CIF modulates NEDD8-dependent signaling is unclear. Here we use conditional NEDD8-dependent yeast to explore the effects of CIF on cullin neddylation. Although CIF causes cullin deneddylation and the generation of free NEDD8 Q40E, inhibiting the COP9 signalosome (CSN) allows Q40E to form only on NEDD8 attached to cullins. In the presence of the CSN, NEDD8 Q40E is removed from cullins more rapidly than NEDD8, leading to a decrease in steady-state cullin neddylation. As NEDD8 Q40E is competent for cullin conjugation in the absence of functional CSN and with overexpression of the NEDD8 ligase Dcn1, our data are consistent with NEDD8 deamidation causing enhanced deneddylation of cullins by the CSN. This leads to a dramatic change in the extent of activated cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases.

Neddylation is a highly conserved post-translational modification that plays critical roles in various cellular processes through the modulation of cullins and non-cullin substrates. While neddylation is known to be essential for embryonic development, tumor growth, and organogenesis of different tissues, its role in cardiogenesis remains unexplored. Here, we investigated the role of neddylation in early cardiac development by deleting the gene encoding a regulatory subunit of the NEDD8-specific E1 activating enzyme, Nae1, globally and in a heart-specific fashion via Nkx2-5.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is an aggressive cancer with a five-year survival rate below 50 %. Standard treatments for HNSCC include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies, but they still have significant limitations. Neddylation, a post-translational modification involving the attachment of NEDD8 (neural precursor cells expressed developmentally down-regulated 8) to proteins, is frequently dysregulated in HNSCC, thereby promoting tumor growth.

Neddylation, a type of protein post-translational modification that links the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to substrate proteins, can be involved in various significant cellular processes and generate multiple biological effects. Currently, the best-characterized substrates of neddylation are the Cullin protein family, which is the core subunit of the Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and controls many important biological processes by promoting ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of various key regulatory proteins. The normal or abnormal process of protein neddylation in the central nervous system can lead to a series of occurrences of normal functions and the development of diseases, providing an attractive, reasonable, and effective targeted therapeutic strategy.

Drug resistance is vital for the poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Given the unique microenvironment of bone marrow, we reasoned that drug resistance of AML might rely on distinct metabolic processes. Here, we identify succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency and over-cumulative succinate as typical features in AML, with a marked function in causing the resistance of AML cells to various anti-cancer therapies.

This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of neddylation in macrophage polarization during sepsis. A mouse model of sepsis was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). ELISA and Flow cytometry were performed to analyze the generation of pro-inflammatory factors and M1/M2 macrophage polarization, respectively.
