Abstract

Ubiquitination plays a key role in trafficking of the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC). Previous work indicated that ubiquitination enhances ENaC endocytosis and sorting to lysosomes for degradation. Moreover, a defect in ubiquitination causes Liddle syndrome, an inherited form of hypertension. In this work, we identified a role for USP8 in the control of ENaC ubiquitination and trafficking. USP8 increased ENaC current in Xenopus oocytes and collecting duct epithelia and enhanced ENaC abundance at the cell surface in HEK 293 cells. This resulted from altered endocytic sorting; USP8 abolished ENaC degradation in the endocytic pathway, but it had no effect on ENaC endocytosis. USP8 interacted with ENaC, as detected by co-immunoprecipitation, and it deubiquitinated ENaC. Consistent with a functional role for deubiquitination, mutation of the cytoplasmic lysines of ENaC reduced the effect of USP8 on ENaC cell surface abundance. In contrast to USP8, USP2-45 increased ENaC surface abundance by reducing endocytosis but not degradation. Thus, USP8 and USP2-45 selectively modulate ENaC trafficking at different steps in the endocytic pathway. Together with previous work, the data indicate that the ubiquitination state of ENaC is critical for the regulation of epithelial Na(+) absorption.

Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.

TL;DR

This study identifies USP8 as a deubiquitinating enzyme that raises epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) surface abundance and current by blocking ENaC degradation in the endocytic pathway, without affecting endocytosis. It further shows that USP2-45 acts at the opposite step, reducing ENaC endocytosis without altering degradation, indicating that DUBs selectively modulate distinct trafficking steps.

Key findings

  • USP8 increased amiloride-sensitive ENaC current by almost 2-fold in Xenopus oocytes; the catalytically inactive USP8 mutant (C786S) did not alter current. USP8 also increased amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current in mpkCCD collecting duct monolayers.
  • USP8 increased cell surface abundance of α-, β-, and γENaC in HEK 293 cells (selectively the proteolytically cleaved forms) without changing total ENaC in cell lysate.
  • USP8 did not alter the rate of ENaC endocytosis, even when Nedd4-2 was coexpressed to accelerate it, but abolished degradation of biotinylated αENaC (control half-life ~70 min) and βENaC; it also reversed Nedd4-2-shortened βENaC half-life (<40 min).
  • USP8 co-immunoprecipitated with α-, β-, and γENaC and reduced Nedd4-2-catalyzed mono- and polyubiquitination of all three subunits. Mutation of cytoplasmic lysines (α-, β-, γK-RENaC) significantly reduced, but did not abolish, the USP8 effect on surface abundance.
  • In contrast, USP2-45 increased α-, β-, and γENaC surface abundance, slowed ENaC endocytosis, and did not alter α- or βENaC degradation.

Methods

  • Electrophysiology: two-electrode voltage clamp at −60 mV in Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with human α-, β-, γENaC cDNA (0.2 ng each) ± USP8 or empty vector (0.6 ng), with 10 μM amiloride to define ENaC current; Ussing chamber short-circuit current in mpkCCDc14 collecting duct monolayers transfected with USP8 or empty plasmid (2.8 μg).
  • HEK 293T cell assays: cell surface biotinylation with sulfo-NHS-biotin and NeutrAvidin isolation, densitometry (ImageJ); endocytosis measured by trypsin cleavage of αCl-2ENaC followed by 0–20 min incubation at 37 °C; degradation measured by pulse-biotinylating surface ENaC and chasing 0–120 min; co-immunoprecipitation and ubiquitin-HA immunoprecipitation with immunoblotting.

Limitations

  • The paper states that the mechanism coordinating the opposing actions of Nedd4-2 and USP8 within the trafficking complex remains to be identified, and that it is not known whether USP8 and USP2-45 act via compartmentalization or by targeting different lysine subsets.
  • The authors note the unexpected finding that lysine mutation did not fully abolish USP8's effect, raising the possibility of a second, deubiquitination-independent mechanism that requires further work.
  • Evident from the text: mechanistic conclusions rest largely on overexpression in heterologous systems (oocytes, HEK 293T) and a mouse collecting duct line, with no in vivo animal or human data reported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
