NLE1 Proteins and Enzymes

The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionary conserved system that is involved in intracellular communication. Notch receptors play an important role in development and cell-fate decisions. Notchless is a loss-of-function mutant allele that encodes for protein NLE1 (notchless homolog 1). NLE1 is a 485 amino acid WD40-repeat protein that binds to the cytoplasmic domain of Notch, regulating its signaling activity in Drosophila melanogaster and in mice. Deletion of the NLE1 gene in mice during ...
