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

TLDR
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.

Inhibition of the Ubc9 E2 SUMO-conjugating enzyme-CRMP2 interaction decreases NaV1.7 currents and reverses experimental neuropathic pain

TL;DR: Structural modeling has now identified a pocket-harboring CRMP2's SUMOylation motif that, when targeted through computational screening of ligands/molecules, is expected to identify small molecules that will biochemically and functionally target CRMP1.7 currents and reverse neuropathic pain.

Endothelial Cell Metabolic Memory Causes Cardiovascular Dysfunction In Diabetes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the molecular mechanism for hyperglycemia-induced metabolic memory in endothelial cells (ECs), and show its critical importance to development of cardiovascular dysfunction in diabetes.

Life Cycle of the Cardiac Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel NaV1.5.

TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of protein partners are needed to achieve the balance between SCN5A transcription and mRNA decay, endoplasmic reticulum retention and export, Golgi apparatus retention, selective anchoring and degradation, activation, and inactivation of sodium currents.

FAT10 protects against ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmia by decreasing Nedd4-2/Nav1.5 complex formation.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the human leukocyte antigen F-associated transcript 10 (FAT10) is investigated in regulating the sodium channel Nav1.5, a major regulator of cardiac arrhythmias.

The endosomal trafficking regulator LITAF controls the cardiac Nav1.5 channel via the ubiquitin ligase NEDD4-2.

TL;DR: Computer simulations using a rabbit-cardiomyocyte model demonstrated that changes in Ca2+ and Na+ homeostasis are responsible for the surprisingly modest action potential duration shortening, and corroborate findings from several genome-wide association studies that associated LITAF with QT interval variation.

SCN5A mutations associated with an inherited cardiac arrhythmia, long QT syndrome

TL;DR: Genetic linkage between LQT3 and polymorphisms within SCN5A, the cardiac sodium channel gene, and single strand conformation polymorphism and DNA sequence analyses suggest that mutations in SCN 5A cause chromosome 3-linked LQt and indicate a likely cellular mechanism for this disorder.

Sumoylation: A Regulatory Protein Modification in Health and Disease

TL;DR: Basic mechanisms and recent developments in the physiology of sumoylation are highlighted and it is not surprising that disease links are beginning to emerge and that interference withsumoylation is being considered for intervention.
