Also known as h-neuRNF67neu-1
Summary
NEURL1 (neuralized E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1, HGNC:7761) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q24.33, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase NEURL1 (O76050). Plays a role in hippocampal-dependent synaptic plasticity, learning and memory.
Predicted to enable translation regulator activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of apoptotic process. Located in plasma membrane.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Plays a role in hippocampal-dependent synaptic plasticity, learning and memory. Involved in the formation of spines and functional synaptic contacts by modulating the translational activity of the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein CPEB3. Promotes ubiquitination of CPEB3, and hence induces CPEB3-dependent mRNA translation activation of glutamate receptor GRIA1 and GRIA2. Can function as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase to activate monoubiquitination of JAG1 (in vitro), thereby regulating the Notch pathway. Acts as a tumor suppressor; inhibits malignant cell transformation of medulloblastoma (MB) cells by inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with CPEB3 (via N-terminal domain); the interaction increases CPEB3 ubiquitination. Interacts with DLL1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region. Cell membrane. Perikaryon. Cell projection. Dendrite. Postsynaptic density.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain, testis, pituitary gland, pancreas and bone marrow. Also poorly expressed in malignant astrocytomas and several neuroectodermal tumor cell lines. Weakly expressed in medulloblastoma (MB) compared with normal cerebellar tissues.
Post-translational modifications. Myristoylation is a determinant of membrane targeting.
Induction. Down-regulated in medulloblastoma (MB).
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
