Misexpression of X-Delta-1 mRNA in progenitor cells at different times during development of the Xenopus retina suggests that the timing of Delta expression generates neuronal diversity through lateral inhibition mediated by Notch signaling.

Curr Biol 1997, 7:661-670. Similar Delta misexpression studies as reported in [2•] but in the chick retina using retrovirus infection support a role for Notch signaling in regulating neuronal diversityln addition, the idea that Delta-Notch signaling controls the differentiation of progenitor cells into neurons is presented and this idea is extended as a mechanism by which Notch signaling regulates the differentiation of stem cells in general.

A dominant negative form of X-Su(H) is used to show that induction of ESR requires X-Su(H). Expression of dominant negative X-Su(H) produces a neurogenic phenotype and leads to an upregulation of both X-Delta-1 and XNGNR1 expression. A chimeric X-Su(H)/Notch ankyrin repeat construct supports the idea that the Notch RAM domain functions to bring X-Su(H) and Notch ankyrin repeats together to function in Notch signaling.

44. Pan D, Rubin GM: Kuzbanian controls proteolytic processing of Notch and mediates lateral inhibition during Drosophila and vertebrate neurogenesis. Cell 1997, 90:271-280. The development of a dominant negative form of Kuz indicates that the metalloproteinase activity intrinsic to Kuz is required for lateral inhibition during neurogenesis in Drosophila and Xenopus. A role for proteolytic processing of Notch in Notch signaling is proposed.

Cell ablation experiments indicate that the metalloproteinase encoded by Sup-17 functions in the Lin-12-expressing cell. The constitutive activity intrinsic to the cytoplasmic domain of Lin-12 does not require Sup-17 in contrast to the lin12(d) mutants that are dependent upon Sup-17 for activity, suggesting the cleavage is required for these mutant proteins to function

Development 1997, 124:4769-4779. Demonstration that Kuz is required upstream of Su(H) and that ligand-dependent hyperactive Notch mutants (Abruptex) require Kuz to signal, suggesting that Kuz is involved in generating a functional receptor capable of binding ligand or its subsequent activation following ligand binding.

This paper provides evidence for an additional cytoplasmic form of Notch in response to activation by Jagged2. As the additional form is membrane associated, it may arise from cleavage in the extracellular domain of Notch.

52. Panin VM, Papayannopoulos V, Wilson R, Irvine KD: Fringe modulates Notch-ligand interactions. Nature 1997, 387:908-912. The authors provide data to support that Fringe inhibits Serrate signaling through Notch but functions to potentiate Delta mediated Notch signaling in the Drosophila wing margin. In addition, Serrate and Delta, through activation of Notch, positively regulate each other's expression in a feedback loop.

Development 1997, 124:2973-2981. This paper shows that Fringe can inhibit both endogenous and ectopic Serrate from signaling through Notch yet Fringe has little effect on Delta signaling. Replacement of the Serrate amino-terminal region with the corresponding region from Delta produces a chimeric Delta/Serrate ligand that is immune to the negative effects of Fringe, demonstrating the requirement for these Serrate sequences in the Fringe effect.
