Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Genomics of the Eukaryotes

Gerald M. Rubin, +55 more
- 24 Mar 2000 - 
TL;DR: The fly has orthologs to 177 of the 289 human disease genes examined and provides the foundation for rapid analysis of some of the basic processes involved in human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma-secretase-mediated proteolysis in cell-surface-receptor signalling.

TL;DR: The Notch signalling pathway uses a relatively direct mechanism, in which the intracellular domain of the receptor is liberated by intramembrane cleavage and translocates to the nucleus as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch Signaling: The Core Pathway and Its Posttranslational Regulation

TL;DR: This review describes the core developmental logic of Notch signaling and how regulatory mechanisms tailor Notch pathway outputs to specific developmental scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurogenic phenotypes and altered Notch processing in Drosophila Presenilin mutants.

TL;DR: It is shown that presenilin is required for the normal proteolytic production of carboxy-terminal Notch fragments that are needed for receptor maturation and signalling, and that genetically it acts upstream of both the membrane-bound form and the activated nuclear form of Notch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endosomal entry regulates Notch receptor activation in Drosophila melanogaster

TL;DR: It is shown that endosomal access of the Notch receptor is critical to achieve physiological levels of signaling and further suggest that altered residence in distinct endocytic compartments could underlie pathologies involving aberrant Notch pathway activation.
