Abstract
Notch signaling defines an evolutionarily ancient cell interaction mechanism, which plays a fundamental role in metazoan development. Signals exchanged between neighboring cells through the Notch receptor can amplify and consolidate molecular differences, which eventually dictate cell fates. Thus, Notch signals control how cells respond to intrinsic or extrinsic developmental cues that are necessary to unfold specific developmental programs. Notch activity affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation, and apoptotic programs, providing a general developmental tool to influence organ formation and morphogenesis.

A notch-independent activity of suppressor of hairless is required for normal mechanoreceptor physiology.

TL;DR: It is shown that Su(H) has three distinct functions in the development of external mechanosensory organs in Drosophila: Notch-dependent transcriptional activation and a novel auto-repression function, both of which direct cell fate decisions, and a Novel auto-activation function required for normal socket cell differentiation.

Inhibition of NOTCH signaling by gamma secretase inhibitor engages the RB pathway and elicits cell cycle exit in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells.

TL;DR: Investigation of the mechanisms of GSI sensitivity across a panel of T-ALL cell lines yielded an approach for patient stratification based on pathway activity and a rational combination strategy for enhanced response to GSI, providing evidence that GSI engagement of the CDK4/RB pathway is an important mechanism of G SI action.

Notch signaling in mammary gland tumorigenesis.

TL;DR: The structure and function of the Notch receptor, as well as the components that comprise and modify the signaling pathway, are summarized and the potential role of Notch in mammary gland development and tumorigenesis is discussed.

Notch and the Skeleton

TL;DR: Dysregulation of Notch signaling is the underlying cause of diseases affecting the skeletal tissue, including Alagille syndrome, spondylocostal dysostosis, and possibly, osteosarcoma.

Role of conserved intracellular motifs in Serrate signalling, cis-inhibition and endocytosis.

TL;DR: Two conserved motifs in the intracellular domain of Serrate are identified that are required for efficient endocytosis and are shown to be dileucine and novel motifs that are necessary for interactions with Mindbomb1/Neuralized and is strictly required for Serrate to trans‐activate and internalise efficiently.

Notch-1 signalling requires ligand-induced proteolytic release of intracellular domain.

TL;DR: It is shown that signalling by a constitutively active membrane-bound Notch-1 protein requires the proteolytic release of the Notch intracellular domain (NICD), which interacts preferentially with CSL.

Signalling downstream of activated mammalian Notch.

TL;DR: It is shown that activated forms of mNotch associate with the human analogue of Su(H), KBF2/RBP-JK and act as transcriptional activators through theKBF2-binding sites of the HES-1 promoter and block MyoD-induced myogenesis5-7.

Notch signaling : Signal transduction

TL;DR: The Notch/Lin-12/Glp-1 receptor family mediates the specification of numerous cell fates during development in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans and putative components of the signaling cascade are identified, including a conserved family of extracellular ligands and two cellular factors that may associate with the Notch Intracellular domain.
