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.
