Figure Legend Snippet: ( A ) Interaction between Nedd4 and Htt Exon1-GFP. 293FT cells were transfected with Nedd4 together with GFP, Htt Exon1-25Q-GFP, or Htt Exon1-46Q-GFP. Cells were harvested 48 hours after transfection, and co-IP was performed followed by Western blot analysis. ( B ) Interaction of Nedd4 with Htt480-68Q. N2a cells were transfected with Nedd4 and Htt480-68Q and collected 26 hours after transfection. Co-IP was performed followed by Western blot analysis. T7 antibody was used to detect T7-tagged Nedd4. ( C ) Immunoblot analysis of Nedd4 expression in mouse brain regions: cortex (Ctx), cerebellum (Cer), striatum (Str), and hippocampus (Hip). Nedd4 was detected using an anti-Nedd4 antibody (Proteintech, 21698-1-AP), and Gapdh served as a loading control. ( D ) Quantification of relative Nedd4 expression normalized to Gapdh ( n = 7; one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test; Cer vs. Str, P = 0.0461). ( E ) Endogenous interaction between Htt and Nedd4 in mouse cortex. Co-IP was performed using cortical lysates, with Htt immunoprecipitated using an Htt antibody (EPR5526). Nedd4 was detected in the pulldown. IgG served as a negative control. ( F ) Nedd4 promotes Htt ubiquitination in a ligase activity–dependent manner. N2a cells were transfected with Htt571-72Q and HA-ubiquitin together with vector control, Nedd4, or catalytically inactive Nedd4-CS. Cells were harvested 50 hours after transfection, and denaturing IP was followed by Western blotting. n = 3; one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test (* P < 0.01; ** P < 0.001; NS, not significant). ( G ) Htt undergoes monoubiquitination at multiple lysine residues. N2a cells were transfected with GFP-Htt480-68Q and either WT HA-ubiquitin or lysine-free HA-K0 ubiquitin. Denaturing IP and Western blot analysis were performed 25 hours after transfection. N4, Nedd4; Ub, ubiquitin; vec, vector; CS, Nedd4 CS; Pon S, Ponceau S.

Figure Legend Snippet: ( A ) Htt levels are reduced by overexpression of Nedd4 in a ligase activity–dependent manner in N2a cells. Cells were transfected with Htt571-72Q together with vector (vec), Nedd4 (N4), or Nedd4 CS (CS), and analyzed by Western blot 2 and 3 days after transfection. n = 4, one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test. ( B ) Htt degradation is enhanced by overexpression of Nedd4 in a ligase activity–dependent manner in N2a cells. Cells were transfected with Htt571-72Q together with vector, Nedd4, or Nedd4 CS. Cycloheximide (CHX) 6-hour-chase experiment was followed by Western blot. n = 3, two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test. ( C ) Nedd4 knockdown increases Htt levels in N2a cells. Cells were cotransfected with Htt571-72Q and scrambled (scr) or shNedd4-35 (N4-35) plasmid, harvested at the indicated time points, and analyzed by Western blot. n = 3, one-sample t test. ( D ) Nedd4 knockdown impairs Htt degradation in N2a cells. Cells were transfected with scr or N4-35 plasmid. Forty-eight hours later, they were transfected with Htt571-72Q, subjected to 6-, 12-, and 24-hour CHX-chase experiment, harvested and analyzed by Western blot. n = 3, two-way ANOVA with Šídák’s multiple-comparison test. ( E ) Nedd4 knockdown increases Htt levels in mouse primary cortical neurons. Cells were transduced with lentivirus expressing Htt571-72Q together with scrambled (scr), shNedd4-34 (N4-34), or N4-35 lentivirus, harvested, and analyzed by Western blot. n = 3, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple-comparison test. ( F ) Nedd4 knockdown increases endogenous Htt levels in mouse primary cortical neurons. Twenty-four hours after plating, cells were transduced with lentivirus expressing GFP and either scr or N4-35, cultured for an additional 6 days, and immunostained with anti-Htt antibody (5656S). Htt intensity was quantified in double-transduced cells ( n = 26 fields, 2-tailed Student t test; scale bar: 20 μm). α-tubulin (α-tub), loading control. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; NS, not significant.
