BACKGROUND
Ligand-induced proteolytic cleavage and internalization of the plasma membrane receptor Notch leads to its activation. Ligand-independent, steady-state internalization of Notch, however, does not lead to activation. The mechanism by which downstream effectors discriminate between these bipartite modes of Notch internalization is not understood. Nedd4 is a HECT domain-containing E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets transmembrane receptors containing the PPSY motif for endocytosis. Deltex… CONTINUE READING
