Mammalian SEL-10/mSel-10 (FBXW7) physically interacts with the Notch1 intracellular domain (IC) in the cell nucleus, ubiquitinates Notch1 IC in a manner requiring the PEST domain at the C-terminal region, and reduces Notch1 IC-mediated activation of the HES1 promoter. Ubiquitinated Notch1 IC accumulates in the presence of proteasome inhibitor MG132 but is a less potent transactivator, indicating that ubiquitination itself reduces Notch activity independent of degradation. |

Human SEL-10 specifically interacts with nuclear (active transcriptional factor) forms of Notch1, not with inactive membrane-anchored forms, and this interaction requires a phosphorylation event. A dominant-negative SEL-10 (F-box deleted) stabilizes intracellular Notch1 and enhances its transcriptional activity. Notch1 IC undergoes polyubiquitination in vitro and is stabilized by proteasome inhibitors in vivo. |

SEL-10 negatively regulates Notch1 and Notch4 receptor activity by targeting their intracellular domains for ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation via its WD40 repeats. SEL-10 binds preferentially to a phosphorylated form of Notch4 IC; binding requires the C-terminal region of Notch4 downstream of the ankyrin repeats. In vitro ubiquitination of Notch1 and Notch4 IC is dependent on SEL-10. |
