NOTCH ligands DLL1, DLL4, JAG1 and JAG2 undergo ubiquitination and endocytosis after binding NOTCH2 in trans. Integrity of the intracellular domain of DLL1 was shown to be essential for the successful release of NOTCH2 intracellular domain, NICD2, in response to DLL1 binding (Shimizu et al. 2002). In Drosophila, ubiquitination of Delta and Serrate ligands is performed by either Mindbomb or Neuralized ubiquitin ligase. In mammals, there are two Mindbomb homologues, MIB1 and MIB2 and two Neuralized homologues, NEURL (also known as NEUR1) and NEURL1B (also known as NEUR2). Although both Mib1 and Mib2 ubiquitinate Delta (Koo et al. 2005), only Mib1 was shown to be essential for normal development in mice, with Mib1 deficient mice exhibiting typical Notch deficiency phenotypes (Koo et al. 2007). This could be due to different expression patterns of Mib1 and Mib2. While Mib1 is abundantly expressed in embryos and adult tissues, Mib2 expression is limited to adult tissues only (Koo et al. 2005). Mouse Neurl was directly shown to ubiquitinate Jag1 but not other Notch ligands in vitro. N-terminal myristoylation targets Neurl to the plasma membrane and this is a prerequisite for Jag1 internalization (Koutelou et al. 2008). Mouse Neurl1b was shown to directly bind and ubiquitinate recombinant Xenopus Delta and to cooperate with Mib1 in Delta endocytosis (Song et al. 2006). Ubiquitination of NOTCH ligands by MIB and NEURL ubiquitin ligases triggers ligand endocytosis. Drosophila Neuralized needs to interact with membrane phosphoinositides through its phosphoinositide-binding motif to trigger endocytosis of ubiquitinated Delta (Skwarek et al. 2007). The pulling force model states that the endocytosis of ubiquitinated Notch ligands mechanically pulls the ligand-bound Notch receptor, exposing the S2 cleavage site and resulting in Notch receptor cleavage by ADAM10 and/or ADAM17 metalloproteases (Itoh et al. 2003). Using a cell-bead optical tweezers system to measure rupture force specific for cells expressing Dll1 bound to laser trapped Notch1 beads, it was shown that the mechanical force required for the activation of Notch signaling depends on ligand ubiquitination and subsequent clathrin-mediated endocytosis that involves dynamin, epsins and actin (Meloty-Kapella et al. 2012). Ligand endocytosis and recycling does not directly influence Dll1 and Notch1 interaction, except that it regulates the amount of ligand on the cell surface that is available to activate Notch (Shergill et al. 2012).
