Journal ArticleDOI

Notch pathway molecules are essential for the maintenance, but not the generation, of mammalian neural stem cells.

TL;DR: Both neuronal and glial differentiation in vitro were enhanced by attenuation of Notch signaling and suppressed by expressing an active form of NotCh1, consistent with a role for NotCh signaling in the maintenance of the neural stem cell, and inconsistent with a roles in a neuronal/glial fate switch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mice lacking both presenilin genes exhibit early embryonic patterning defects.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the presenilins play a widespread role in embryogenesis, that there is a functional redundancy between PS1 and PS2, and that both vertebrate presenILins, like their invertebrate homologs, are essential for Notch signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteinuria and perinatal lethality in mice lacking NEPH1, a novel protein with homology to NEPHRIN.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that NEPH1, like NEPHRIN, may play an important role in maintaining the structure of the filtration barrier that prevents proteins from freely entering the glomerular urinary space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presenilins are required for γ -secretase cleavage of β -APP and transmembrane cleavage of Notch-1

TL;DR: Presenilins are required for γ -secretase cleavage of β -APP and transmembrane cleaving of Notch-1 and trans Membrane Cleavage of NotCh-1.
Journal Article

mdmx Is a Negative Regulator of p53 Activity in Vivo

TL;DR: It is reported that loss of mdmx, a p53-binding protein, results in midgestational embryo lethality, a phenotype that is completely rescued by the absence of p53.
