Abstract excerpt
Notch signaling regulates cell fate determination and many developmental processes. Here we report that lateral inhibition, a major mechanism for Notch activity, is modulated by Hairy, a bHLH-WRPW protein. In Xenopus, Notch can have from inhibitory, permissive to enhancing roles in muscle or neural differentiation. These cell context-dependent effects correlate with Hairy expression levels from high to low,...
