| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we focused on the mechanisms by which E3 ligase Nedd4L is activated and ubiquitinates cargo proteins in endocytosis. To do so, we reconstituted the process in vitro, examined the role of endocytic vesicle and an adaptor protein ARRDC1. First, we showed direct interaction of ARRDC1 with several phospholipids and determined the phospholipid binding region. Next, we reconstituted the activation model of Nedd4L in vitro. In the cargo protein ubiquitination, Nedd4L was activated by the binding to ARRDC1 and endocytic vesicles.
