Abstract
Notch signaling involves the proteolytic cleavage of the transmembrane Notch receptor after binding to its transmembrane ligands. Jagged-1 also undergoes proteolytic cleavage by gamma-secretase and releases an intracellular fragment. In this study, we have demonstrated that the Jagged-1 intracellular domain (JICD) inhibits Notch1 signaling via a reduction in the protein stability of the Notch1 intracellular domain (Notch1-IC). The formation of the Notch1-IC-RBP-Jk-Mastermind complex is prevented in the presence of JICD, via a physical interaction. Furthermore, JICD accelerates the protein degradation of Notch1-IC via Fbw7-dependent proteasomal pathway. These results indicate that JICD functions as a negative regulator in Notch1 signaling via the promotion of Notch1-IC degradation.
