Our previous studies have shown that the HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4 and kinase MEKK5 both play an essential role in lung cancer migration. A report predicts that MEKK5 may be ubiquitinated by NEDD4; however, interaction of MEKK5 with NEDD4 and ubiquitination of MEKK5 by NEDD4 have not been characterized. In this report, we show that NEDD4 interacts with MEKK5 through a conserved WW3 domain by the co-immunoprecipitation and the GST-pulldown assays. The ubiquitination assay indicates that MEKK5 is not a ubiquitination substrate of NEDD4, but negatively regulates NEDD4-mediated ubiquitination. Furthermore, overexpression of MEKK5 significantly reduced the NEDD4-promoted lung cancer cell migration. Taken together, our studies have defined an inhibitory role of MEKK5 in regulation of NEDD4-mediated ubiquitination.

Abstract Directed cell movement involves spatial and temporal regulation of the cortical microtubule (Mt) and actin networks to allow focal adhesions (FAs) to assemble at the cell front and disassemble at the rear. Mts are known to associate with FAs, but the mechanisms coordinating their dynamic interactions remain unknown. Here we show that the CRL3KLHL21 E3 ubiquitin ligase promotes cell migration by controlling Mt and FA dynamics at the cell cortex. Indeed, KLHL21 localizes to FA structures preferentially at the leading edge, and in complex with Cul3, ubiquitylates EB1 within its microtubule-interacting CH-domain. Cells lacking CRL3KLHL21 activity or expressing a non-ubiquitylatable EB1 mutant protein are unable to migrate and exhibit strong defects in FA dynamics, lamellipodia formation and cortical plasticity. Our study thus reveals an important mechanism to regulate cortical dynamics during cell migration that involves ubiquitylation of EB1 at focal adhesions.
