DSL ligands activate the Notch receptor in many cellular contexts across metazoa to specify cell fate. In addition, Notch receptor activity is implicated in post-mitotic morphogenesis and neuronal function. In C. elegans, the DSL family ligand APX-1 is expressed in a subset of cells of the proximal gonad lineage, where it can act as a latent proliferation-promoting signal to maintain proximal germline tumors....
