Gene Description

Neuralized (Neur) is a membrane-associated RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that activates the Notch ligands Delta and Serrate in signal-sending cells. Its NHR1 (neuralized homology repeat) domain docks onto an NXXN motif in the Delta intracellular domain, and its C-terminal RING domain transfers ubiquitin to lysines of the ligand intracellular domain, routing the ligand into Epsin-dependent endocytosis that is required for productive trans-activation of Notch. A basic phosphoinositide-binding motif targets Neur to the plasma membrane. Neur is expressed in neural precursors (SOPs), segregates asymmetrically into pIIb during SOP division, and is the dominant ligand E3 for lateral inhibition and SOP lineage decisions, whereas the structurally unrelated Mind bomb 1 acts in most other Notch contexts; Neur can functionally substitute for Mib1. Neur activity is antagonised by Bearded-family proteins, which compete with Delta for NHR1 binding. Neur also targets Stardust isoforms to promote Crumbs endocytosis.

Distinct intracellular motifs of Delta mediate its ubiquityl...
ACCEPT
Summary: Neur catalyses multi-/polyubiquitylation of the Delta intracellular domain in a cell-based assay.
Reason: IDA from a direct ubiquitylation assay on the Neur substrate Delta; the product was multi- or polyubiquitylated Dl. This is the process realised by Neur's E3 activity. Note that the signalling-relevant modification may be multi-monoubiquitylation; the term is acceptable as the paper reports high-molecular-mass poly/multi-ubiquitin species.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:22162135
Using a cell-based assay, we detected ubiquitylation of Dl by both Neur and Mib1.
PMID:22162135
This shows that these E3 ligases catalyze preferentially the multi- or polyubiquitylation of Dl.

ACCEPT
Summary: Reactome places Neur (with Mib1) as the E3 that ubiquitinates DL/SER.
Reason: Correct but less specific parent of ubiquitin protein ligase activity (GO:0061630), which is directly supported. Retained; GO:0061630 is the preferred core term.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11740940
In this report, we present genetic and biochemical evidence that Neur is a RING-type, E3 ubiquitin ligase.
PMID:22162135
Using a cell-based assay, we detected ubiquitylation of Dl by both Neur and Mib1.

Summary: Neur binds Bearded family proteins (Tom and other BFMs), which inhibit Neur-mediated Delta endocytosis.
Reason: GO:0005515 protein binding is uninformative. The IPI rows from this paper record binding of Neur to Bearded-family proteins (BFMs), which are Neur inhibitors that compete with Delta for the Neur NHR1 substrate-docking surface. The interaction is real and biologically important, but no more informative molecular function of Neur is captured by binding its inhibitor; removal does not dispute the interaction.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16459303
In this study, we identify proteins of the Bearded (Brd) family as interactors of Neur.
PMID:19580805
we provide evidence that members of the Bearded family of proteins (BFMs) inhibit Dl activation in non-SOP cells by binding to Neur and preventing it from interacting with Dl.

IEA
GO_REF:0000044
REMOVE
Summary: Nuclear localization from UniProt subcellular location, which is itself flagged by curator inference (ECO:0000305).
Reason: All experimental localization data place Neur at the plasma membrane (via its phosphoinositide-binding motif), apical cortex, cytoplasm and endosomes, where it ubiquitinates DSL ligands. No experimental support for nuclear localization is available; the early proposal of a nuclear/DNA-binding role predates the characterization of the NHR and RING domains. This electronic mapping should not be propagated.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10970873
We show that Neu protein is localized primarily at the plasma membrane.
PMID:18061562
We show that interactions between phosphoinositides and Neuralized contribute to the membrane localization of Neuralized in the absence of Delta, and that the phosphoinositide-binding motif is required for Neuralized to endocytose Delta downstream of Delta ubiquitination.

GO:0008593 regulation of Notch signaling pathway
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: IBA (PTN000276953) for regulation of Notch signaling in the Neuralized family.
Reason: Neur is a positive regulator of Notch signalling via DSL ligand ubiquitination. The IBA is sound; GO:0045747 (positive) is the more precise term, supported experimentally.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11740940
Collectively, our data indicate that Neur is a ubiquitin ligase that positively regulates the N pathway by promoting the endocytosis and degradation of Dl.
PMID:16093323
Simultaneous absence of neuralized and mib1 completely abolishes Notch signaling in both aforementioned contexts, making it likely that ubiquitination is a prerequisite for Delta/Serrate signaling.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Germline-derived Delta/Serrate signalling to the niche maintains GSCs; neur was assayed as part of the signal-sending machinery.
Reason: The cached abstract does not mention neur explicitly; the full text was seen by the curator. Consistent with Neur's role in ligand activation; non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17070683
Conversely, when GCSs do not produce functional Notch ligands, Delta and Serrate, the TGF-beta pathway is not activated in the GSCs, and they differentiate and subsequently leave the niche.

Using RNA interference knockdown of N, Serrate, and neuralized (neur), and twin clone analysis of a N null allele, we show that all three genes inhibit lamellocyte differentiation.

ACCEPT
Summary: Neur positively regulates Notch signalling by ubiquitinating and promoting endocytosis of DSL ligands in signal-sending cells.
Reason: Central, repeatedly demonstrated biological role (IMP/IGI with Dl, Ser, mib1). Neur acts in the signal-sending cell to activate ligand.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11740940
Collectively, our data indicate that Neur is a ubiquitin ligase that positively regulates the N pathway by promoting the endocytosis and degradation of Dl.
PMID:16093323
Simultaneous absence of neuralized and mib1 completely abolishes Notch signaling in both aforementioned contexts, making it likely that ubiquitination is a prerequisite for Delta/Serrate signaling.
PMID:15829515
We conclude that ubiquitination of Delta and Serrate by Neuralized and D-mib is an obligate feature of DSL ligand activation throughout Drosophila development.
PMID:15930117
Here, we present evidence that the Drosophila ortholog of Mib (Dmib) is required for ubiquitination and signaling activity of DSL ligands in cells that normally do not express Neur, and can be functionally replaced by ectopically expressed Neur.
PMID:16459303
In Drosophila, the E3 ubiquitin ligase Neuralized (Neur) promotes the endocytosis and signaling activity of the ligand Delta (Dl).

PMID:28960177
Neur, which is needed for these processes, was shown to be able to activate Dl in an ubi-independent manner.

FlyBase gene description for neur (DROME)

neuralized (neur) encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase of the RING family. It is part of the Notch signaling pathway, where it is thought to contribute to the endocytosis-dependent activation of the ligand. It also has Notch-independent functions in epithelial morphogenesis.
