WWC1/2 regulate spinogenesis and cognition in mice by stabilizing AMOT

Abstract: WWC1 regulates episodic learning and memory, and genetic nucleotide polymorphism of WWC1 is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. However, the molecular mechanism through which WWC1 regulates neuronal function remains unclear. Here, we show that WWC1 and its paralogs (WWC2/3) bind directly to angiomotin (AMOT) family proteins (Motins), and recruit USP9X to deubiquitinate and stabilize Motins. Deletion of WWC in different cell types, including neurons, leads to reduced protein … Show more

“…Interestingly, mutation of the PICK1 PDZ domain also disrupts PICK1-KIBRA interaction and KIBRA-induced PICK1 clustering. This result could suggest that PICK1 PDZ domain/KIBRA PDZ ligand interactions also contribute to PICK1-KIBRA interaction (86). However, we hypothesize that these data reflect the fact that the PICK1 PDZ and BAR domains can interact, promoting a 'closed' conformation of PICK1 that disrupts BAR domain-dependent interactions (56,58,61,77).…”

“…In addition, USP9X functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme for Amot-p130 and Amotl2, which positively regulate the Hippo signaling pathway and enhance LATS kinase to inhibit tumor growth (44). A recent study has found that WWC proteins recruit USP9X stabilization Amot family proteins to regulate spinal cord genesis and cognition (45). Downstream regulation of the Amot family proteins.…”

“…[ 118 ] Recent findings demonstrate that WWC1‐3 directly bind to Motins and recruit ubiquitin‐specific peptidase 9 X‐linked (USP9X) for the deubiquitination and stabilization of Motins. [ 119 ] In mice, neuron‐specific deletion of Wwc1 and Wwc2 reduces Motin expression and dendritic spine density in the cortex and hippocampus, leading to impaired cognitive functions such as memory and learning. Interestingly, ectopic expression of AMOT partially rescues the neuronal phenotype associated with Wwc1/2 deletion.…”

“…Thus, WWC proteins modulate spinogenesis and cognition by regulating Motin stability. [ 119 ] Therefore, AMOT regulates neuronal development and maturation, and these processes are dependent or independent of YAP/TAZ.…”
