Abstract excerpt
The Notch receptor, which is involved in numerous cell fate decisions in invertebrates and vertebrates, is synthesized as a 300-kDa precursor molecule (p300). We show here that proteolytic processing of p300 is an essential step in the formation of the biologically active receptor because only the cleaved fragments are present at the cell surface. Our results confirm and extend recent reports indicating that the...
