The intracellular domain of Jagged-1 interacts with Notch1 intracellular domain and promotes its degradation through Fbw7 E3 ligase.

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.
