Mutations in the E3 Ubiquitin (Ub) ligase RNF216 cause Gordon Holmes syndrome (GHS), a neurodegenerative disorder accompanied by neuroendocrine disruption. We developed an orthogonal ubiquitin transfer (OUT) platform to capture RNF216 substrates in neuronal cells and identified OTUD4, a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) mutated in GHS, and FMRP, a neuronal-enriched translational repressor. RNF216 predominantly synthesizes K6-linked Ub chains on OTUD4 to induce its degradation, forming donut-shaped structures in neurons. In return, OTUD4 removes the ubiquitination of RNF216 and FMRP. Analysis of RNF216 substrates revealed biological functions regulating protein synthesis, a shared function of the OTUD4-RNF216 substrate interaction network. Indeed, RNF216 expression increased protein synthesis rates in different cell types while Rnf216 deletion decreased dendritic development in neurons. Overall, our findings show that RNF216 and OTUD4 balance rates of protein synthesis and degradation and suggest GHS-related mutations in RNF216 or OTUD4 may offset this balance, triggering neurodegeneration.
