We have identified a novel epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeat-containing single-pass transmembrane protein that is specifically expressed in the developing and mature central nervous system. Sequence analysis revealed that the 10 EGF-like repeats in the extracellular domain are closely related to those of the developmentally important receptor Notch and its ligand Delta. We thus named the molecule Delta/Notch-like EGF-related receptor (DNER). DNER protein is strongly expressed in several types of post-mitotic neurons, including cortical and hippocampal pyramidal neurons, cerebellar granule cells, and Purkinje cells. DNER protein is localized to the dendritic plasma membrane and endosomes and is excluded from the axons, even when overexpressed. The tyrosine-based sorting motif in the cytoplasmic domain is required for dendritic targeting of DNER. Direct in vivo binding of DNER to the coat-associated protein complex AP-1 strongly suggests that DNER undergoes AP-1-dependent sorting to the somatodendritic compartments from the transGolgi network and subsequent passage through the endosomal system.
