Oncogenic Forms of NOTCH1 Lacking Either the Primary Binding Site for RBP-Jκ or Nuclear Localization Sequences Retain the Ability to Associate with RBP-Jκ and Activate Transcription

Abstract excerpt

Truncated forms of the NOTCH1 transmembrane receptor engineered to resemble mutant forms of NOTCH1 found in certain cases of human T cell leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL) efficiently induce T-ALL when expressed in the bone marrow of mice. Unlike full-sized NOTCH1, two such truncated forms of the protein either lacking a major portion of the extracellular domain (DeltaE) or consisting only of the intracellular domain...
