UBC9 regulates cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5 ubiquitination, degradation and sodium current density.

TL;DR: It is shown that UBC9, a SUMO-conjugating enzyme, regulates ubiquitination and degradation of Nav1.5, and co-immunoprecipitation showed that U BC9 interacts with Nedd4-2, which acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in ubiquitine-protein degradation and regulates Nav 1.5 expression levels in asumOylation-independent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanistic insights into the interaction of the MOG1 protein with the cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5 clarify the molecular basis of Brugada syndrome.

TL;DR: The effects of defined MOG1 deletions and alanine-scanning substitutions are assessed to improve the understanding of how the E83D substitution causes BrS and identify the structural elements in Mog1 that are crucial for its interaction with Nav1.5.
