HIP1 (huntingtin interacting protein 1) has two close relatives: HIP1R (HIP1-related) and yeast Sla2p. All three members of the family have a conserved domain structure, suggesting a common function. Over the past decade, a number of studies have characterized these proteins using a combination of biochemical, imaging, structural and genetic techniques. These studies provide valuable information on binding partners, structure and dynamics of HIP1/HIP1R/Sla2p. In general, all suggest a role in CME (clathrin-mediated endocytosis) for the three proteins, though some differences have emerged. In this mini-review we summarize the current views on the roles of these proteins, while emphasizing the unique attributes of each family member.

ABSTRACTSelective autophagy of protein aggregates is necessary for maintaining the cellular proteostasis. Several regulatory proteins play critical roles in this process. Here, we report that the huntingtin interacting protein K (HYPK) modulates the autophagic degradation of poly-neddylated huntingtin exon1 aggregates. HYPK functions as a scaffolding protein that binds to the Nedd8 and LC3 proteins. The C-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain of HYPK binds to the Nedd8, whereas an N-terminal tyrosine-type (Y-type) LC3 interacting region (LIR) of HYPK binds to the LC3. Several conserved amino acids in the UBA domain of HYPK are necessary to mediate the efficient binding of HYPK to Nedd8. The autophagy inducing properties of HYPK are manifested by the increased lipidation of LC3 protein, increased expression of beclin-1 and ATG-5 proteins, and generation of puncta-like granules of LC3 in the HYPK overexpressing cells. Association of the ‘H-granules’ of HYPK with the poly-neddylated huntingtin exon1 aggregates results in the formation of autophagosome around the huntingtin exon1 aggregates, thereby clearing the aggregates by aggrephagy. Poly-neddylation of huntingtin exon1 is required for its autophagic degradation by HYPK. Thus, overexpression of Nedd8 also increases the basal level of cellular autophagy, other than maintaining the autophagy flux. The poly-neddylation dependent autophagic clearance of huntingtin exon1 by HYPK leads to better cell physiology and survival. Taken together, our study describes a novel mechanism of HYPK mediated autophagy of poly-neddylated huntingtin exon1 aggregates.

The methyltransferase SET domain–containing 2 (SETD2) was originally identified as Huntingtin (HTT) yeast partner B. However, a SETD2 function associated with the HTT scaffolding protein has not been elucidated, and no linkage between HTT and methylation has yet been uncovered. Here, we show that SETD2 is an actin methyltransferase that trimethylates lysine-68 (ActK68me3) in cells via its interaction with HTT and the actin-binding adapter HIP1R. ActK68me3 localizes primarily to the insoluble F-actin cytoskeleton in cells and regulates actin polymerization/depolymerization dynamics. Disruption of the SETD2-HTT-HIP1R axis inhibits actin methylation, causes defects in actin polymerization, and impairs cell migration. Together, these data identify SETD2 as a previously unknown HTT effector regulating methylation and polymerization of actin filaments and provide new avenues for understanding how defects in SETD2 and HTT drive disease via aberrant cytoskeletal methylation.

Posttranslational modification through palmitoylation regulates protein localization and function. In this study, we identify a role for the Drosophila melanogaster palmitoyl transferase Huntingtin-interacting protein 14 (HIP14) in neurotransmitter release. hip14 mutants show exocytic defects at low frequency stimulation and a nearly complete loss of synaptic transmission at higher temperature. Interestingly, two exocytic components known to be palmitoylated, cysteine string protein (CSP) and SNAP25, are severely mislocalized at hip14 mutant synapses. Complementary DNA rescue and localization experiments indicate that HIP14 is required solely in the nervous system and is essential for presynaptic function. Biochemical studies indicate that HIP14 palmitoylates CSP and that CSP is not palmitoylated in hip14 mutants. Furthermore, the hip14 exocytic defects can be suppressed by targeting CSP to synaptic vesicles using a chimeric protein approach. Our data indicate that HIP14 controls neurotransmitter release by regulating the trafficking of CSP to synapses.
