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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A combined ex vivo and in vivo RNAi screen for notch regulators in Drosophila reveals an extensive notch interaction network.

TL;DR: A hitherto unappreciated diversity of tissue-specific modulators impinging on Notch is revealed and opens new avenues for studying Notch regulation and function in development and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TNF-induced osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone resorption are inhibited by transcription factor RBP-J

TL;DR: The Notch-driven transcription factor RBP-J inhibits osteoclast formation in response to TNF, and this inhibition is associated with down-regulation of TNF-related cell death in mice.
ComponentDOI

Recognition of the amyloid precursor protein by human gamma-secretase.

TL;DR: An atomic structure of human γ-secretase in complex with a transmembrane APP fragment at 2.6-angstrom resolution is reported, revealing contrasting features of substrate binding, which may be applied toward the design of substrate-specific inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide analysis of N1ICD/RBPJ targets in vivo reveals direct transcriptional regulation of Wnt, SHH, and Hippo pathway effectors by Notch1

TL;DR: A transgenic mouse in which the activation of the Notch pathway massively expands the neural stem cell (NSC) pool in a cell context‐dependent manner is reported and direct interaction between Notch and Hippo‐Yap pathways in NSCs is shown.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
