The Nedd4 family E3 ligases Itch and WWP1/2 play crucial roles in the regulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis and are closely correlated with cancer development and metastasis. It has been recently shown that the ligase activities of Itch and WWP1/2 are tightly regulated, with the HECT domain sequestered intramolecularly by a linker region connecting WW2 and WW3. Here, we show that a similar autoinhibitory mechanism is utilized by the Drosophila ortholog of Itch and WWP1/2, Suppressor of Deltex (Su(dx)). We show that Su(dx) adopts an inactive steady state with the WW domain region interacting with the HECT domain. We demonstrate that both the linker and preceding WW2 are required for the efficient binding and regulation of Su(dx) HECT. Recruiting the multiple-PY motif-containing adaptor dNdfip via WW domains relieves the inhibitory state of Su(dx) and leads to substrate (e.g. Notch) ubiquitination. Our study demonstrates an evolutionarily conservative mechanism governing the regulation and activation of some Nedd4 family E3 ligases. Our results also suggest a dual regulatory mechanism for specific Notch down-regulation via dNdfip-Su(dx)-mediated Notch ubiquitination.
