Neddylation is a posttranslational modification in which NEDD8 is conjugated to a target substrate by cellular processes similar to those involved in ubiquitination. Recent studies have identified PSD-95 and cofilin as substrates for neddylation in the brain and have shown that neddylation modulates the maturation and stability of dendritic spines in developing neurons. However, the precise substrates and functional consequences of neddylation at presynaptic terminals remain elusive. Here, we provide evidence that the mGlu7 receptor is a target of neddylation in heterologous cells and rat primary cultured neurons. We found that mGlu7 neddylation is reduced by agonist treatment and is required for the clustering of mGlu7 in the presynaptic active zone. In addition, we observed that neddylation is not required for the endocytosis of mGlu7, but it facilitates the ubiquitination of mGlu7 and stabilizes mGlu7 protein expression. Finally, we demonstrate that neddylation is necessary for the maturation of excitatory presynaptic terminals, providing a key role for neddylation in synaptic function.
