Role of the ubiquitin ligase ITCH in clathrin-mediated endocytosis of the epidermal growth factor receptor

Show abstract
Once activated by ligand, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is endocytosed in clathrin-coated pits. ITCH is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that interacts with and ubiquitinates several proteins involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) including endophilin. To further investigate the function of ITCH in EGFR endocytosis, the internalization of fluorescent EGF was measured in ITCH-/- HeLa cells. In the absence of ITCH, there was a significant decrease in the CME of EGF. Rescue experiments using wild-type ITCH confirmed the importance of the protein for normal EGF uptake. ITCH point mutations that disrupt the interaction of ITCH with endophilin failed to rescue the defects in EGFR uptake, as did a non-catalytic form of ITCH. ITCH-/- cells also displayed a delay in the rate of phospho-EGFR degradation as well as prolonged ERK1/2 signaling. Our study uncovers a pathway regulating EGFR trafficking and reveals for the first time that the protein ITCH is required for CME of EGFR.
