Roles of Drosophila deltex in Notch receptor endocytic trafficking and activation.

TL;DR: Investigation of N endocytosis in a dx‐null Drosophila mutant found that endogenous Dx is required for at least two steps of N trafficking: the incorporation of N into endocytic vesicles from the plasma membrane and the transport of N from early endosomes to lysosomes.

Structure and Function of the CSL-KyoT2 Corepressor Complex: A Negative Regulator of Notch Signaling.

TL;DR: The structure and function of CSL in complex with the corepressor KyoT2 is characterized using a combination of structural, biophysical, and cellular approaches to provide molecular insights into how K yoT2 binds CSL with high affinity and competes with coactivators, such as Notch, for binding CSL.

Notch signaling as a therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment

TL;DR: There are many remaining uncertainties that must be addressed experimentally if there are to exploit inhibition of Notch signaling as a treatment approach in breast cancer, but Notch inhibition, in combination with other therapies, is a promising avenue for future management of breast cancer.

Notch signalling: a simple pathway becomes complex

TL;DR: Although the intracellular transduction of the Notch signal is remarkably simple, with no secondary messengers, this pathway functions in an enormous diversity of developmental processes and its dysfunction is implicated in many cancers.

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.

Notch/gamma-secretase inhibition turns proliferative cells in intestinal crypts and adenomas into goblet cells.

TL;DR: This work shows a rapid, massive conversion of proliferative crypt cells into post-mitotic goblet cells after conditional removal of the common Notch pathway transcription factor CSL/RBP-J and indicates that γ-secretase inhibitors, developed for Alzheimer's disease, might be of therapeutic benefit in colorectal neoplastic disease.
