Abstract excerpt
The Lin12-Notch repeat (LNR) module of about 35 residues is a hallmark of the Notch receptor family. Three copies, arranged in tandem, are invariably present in the extracellular portion of the Notch receptors. Although their function is unknown, genetic and biochemical data indicate that the LNR modules participate in the regulation of ligand-induced proteolytic cleavage of the Notch receptor, a prerequisite to...
