  • redistributed by AAK1 to perinuclear endosomes when overexpressed, while kinase depletion causes NUMB to accumulate at the plasma membrane)
  • mainly localized to the cytoplasmic membrane
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in generating asymetric cell division during neurogenesis
  • in enabling neural progenitor cells to balance self-renewal and neuron production by segregating asymmetrically to the progenitor daughter cells to specify their fates
  • NUMB signaling seems to play two contradictory roles: namely, it promotes progenitor over neuronal fates but is also required for neuronal differentiation
  • playing a crucial role in the maintenance of radial glia adherens junctions and, consequently, the integrity of the neurogenic epithelium
  • required for the tissue architecture of neurogenic niches and the cerebral cortex
  • controlling TP53 tumour suppressor activity by preventing ubiquitination and degradation of TP53
  • major determinant of binary cell fates and required for the differentiation of cerebellar granule cell progenitors (GCPs) at a stage of development responsive to the morphogenic glycoprotein Hedehog
  • endocytic protein that is proposed to influence clathrin-coated pit assembly
  • mediates the interaction between Wnt and Notch to modulate primitive erythropoietic specification from the hemangioblast
  • endocytic receptor for P-selectin that may be responsible for the rapid internalization of P-selectin when endothelial activation ends
  • depletes chronic myelogenious leukemia stem cells
  • regulates cell-cell adhesion and polarity in response to tyrosine kinase signalling
  • sensor of HGF signalling or Src activity during epithelial-mesenchymal transition
  • NUMB phosphorylation may act as an important regulatory process in the NOTCH1 pathway
  • important cell fate determinant that is asymmetrically inherited during mitosis and controls the fate of sibling cells by inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway in neural tissue
  • modulates intestinal epithelial cells towards the goblet cell phenotype by inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway
  • NUMB and NUMBL have evolved to acquire at least partially distinct functions
  • regulates steady-state levels of TP53 in cells by disrupting TP53-MDM2 acidic domain interactions
  • is an endocytic adaptor protein that regulates the endocytosis and trafficking of transmembrane receptors including NOTCH1, CDH1, and integrins
  • RBFOX3-dependent NUMB alternative splicing plays an important role in the progression of neuronal differentiation during vertebrate development
  • NUMB inhibits NOTCH1 signaling by promoting the degradation of the NOTCH1 intracellular domain in cardiomyocytes
  • novel role of NUMB that lies at the heart of TCR signaling initiation and termination
  • importance of NUMB and NUMBL in the control of myoepithelial cell fate determination, epithelial identity, and lactogenesis

    signaling
    apparent role of the Musashi-NUMB pathway in regulating the formation of aggressive myeloid leukemia, and thus provide a potential molecular mechanism for the transition of chronic phase CML to the deadly blast crisis
    a component forming a trimeric complex with MDM2 and TP53 and has been shown to play a role in the stabilization of TP53 in cells
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • EPS15
  • interacts with the active intracellular domain of NOTCH1 (NICD) promoting degradation of NOTCH1, preventing its localization to the nucleus and its activity as a transcription factor
  • interacting with ACBD3
  • interacting with LNX1
  • binding to AAK1
  • bind to the alpha-adaptin of AP2 in clathrin-coated pits by its C-terminus
  • interacts with E-cadherin and regulates its localization to the lateral domain of epithelial cell-cell junction
  • endocytic protein that acts as a NOTCH1 inhibitor via binding to AP2 in coated pits
  • MDM2 acid domain binds NUMB and is critical for NUMB ubiquitination
  • potential novel roles of NUMB/NUMBL in regulating heart trabeculation and compaction by inhibiting NOTCH2 and BMP10 signalling
  • developmental regulator OFCC1 enables polarized integrin localization by modulating NUMB/NUMBL, thus directing the basal constriction that shapes the vertebrate retina epithelium
  • interactions with REPS1, BMP2K, and BCR
  • NUMB interacts with TRPV6 through charged residues and inhibits its activity via the regulation of protein expression
  • NUMB premRNA encoding a signaling adaptor protein is a target of RBFOX3 action, and RBFOX3 repressed the inclusion of an alternative exon via binding to the conserved UGCAUG element in the upstream intron
  • NUMB, NUMBL counteract VEGF receptor degradation and promote VEGFR2 recycling back to the plasma membrane
  • CD3E recruits NUMB to promote TCR degradation
  • MSI2 promotes the development and progression of pancreatic cancer by down-regulating NUMB protein
  • interaction of MSI2-NUMB plays a significant role in the development and progression of Pancreatic cancer
  • endocytic adaptor proteins NUMB and NUMBL were required for downregulation of ERBB2 signaling in maturing trabeculae
  • NUMB and NUMBL interacted with small GTPase RAB7A to transition ERBB2 from early to late endosome for degradation

    REGULATION
    Phosphorylated by PRKCI (phosphorylates NUMB to prevent its binding to CTNND1 and AP2A1, thereby attenuating CDH1 endocytosis to maintain apicobasal polarity)
