Various proteins interacting with NICD

SymbolProteinInterface with NICD
Regulation of NICD by phosphorylation
GSK3βGlycogen synthase kinase 3Phosphorylates Notch, which can lead to degradation or stabilization
CycCCyclin CTarget NICD along with CDk8 for phosphorylation that subsequently acts as substrate for ubiquitylation and degradation
CDK8Cyclin-dependent kinase 8Phosphorylates NICD with CycC that subsequently acts as substrate for ubiquitylation and degradation
G-CSFGranulocyte colony-stimulating factorPhosphorylation of NICD that subsequently leads to its inactivation
Regulation of NICD by ubiquitylation
Fbxw7/Cdc4F-box/WD-repeat protein 7Ubiquitylates the NICD leading to its degradation
NumbNumb homologSuppresses Notch signaling by recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases to ubiquitylate Notch
Dtx1–4Deltex 1–4Controls Notch ubiquitylation, processing, and internalization
ItchItchy, E3 ubiquitin protein ligasePromotes ubiquitylation of NICD
Regulation of NICD by hydroxylation
FIHFactor inhibiting HIF1αHydroxylates the Notch and represses Notch
HIF1αHypoxia-inducible factor 1, alpha subunitStabilizes the NICD and synergizes with it in transcription of Notch target genes
Miscellaneous proteins interacting with NICD
AxinAxinSynergies with NICD to regulate the stability of β-catenin and controls the trafficking of NICD in association with adenomatous polyposis coli
ApcAdenomatous polyposis coliControl the trafficking of Notch
CSL/RBP-jκCBF1, Su(H) and LAG-1/RBP-jκKey canonical transcriptional cofactor for NICD
Ctnnb1β-cateninSynergies with NICD/CSL on Notch target gene
DabDisabeledActs as link to Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl) protein in noncanonical Notch axon guidance
Dvl/DshDishevelledDishevelled regulates ligand-dependent Notch trafficking and inhibits canonical Notch signaling
MAML-1/2Master mind-like-1/2Coactivator of NICD/CSL
NF-κBNuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells 1NICD blocks NF-κB transcription of NF-κB target genes through binding to p50/cRel
NrarpNotch-regulated ankyrin repeat proteinNrarp binds and inhibits the NICD/CSL
p73α (TA)Tumor protein p73 alpha (transactivating form)Binds NICD and inhibits the NICD/CSL-mediated transcription
RITA/C12ORF52RBP-jκ interacting and tubulin associatedShuttles NICD between the nucleus and cytoplasm on tubulin networks
SMADSmad family membersSmads augment Notch signaling, Notch fine-tunes signaling via Smads
SNW1/SKIP/NCOA-62SNW domain-containing protein 1/Ski-interacting protein/Nuclear receptor coactivator NCoA-62Can bind both NICD and corepressor SMRT, but these are mutually exclusive; forms multimers with NICD and MAML, which then associates with CSL to activate transcription
Tacc3Transforming, acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3Binds NICD and blocks transcription from Notch target promoters; can be reversed by overexpression of CSL
TrioTriple functional domain (PTPRF interacting)A guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rho GTPases that acts as link to Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl) proteins in noncanonical Notch axon guidance
  • CDK, cyclin-dependent kinase; E3, ubiquitin ligase; HIF, hypoxia-inducible factor; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells; RITA, RBP-jκ interacting and tubulin–associated; SKIP, Ski-interacting protein; SMRT, a silencing mediator for retinoid or thyroid hormone receptors.
