Size-dependent protein segregation creates a spatial switch for Notch signaling and function
2020-06-29
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant cleavage of Notch by γ-secretase is implicated in numerous diseases, but how cleavage is regulated in space and time is unclear. Here, we report that cadherin-based adherens junctions (cadAJs) are sites of high cell-surface γ-secretase activity, as well as sites of constrained physical space that excludes γ-secretase substrates having large extracellular domains (ECDs) like Notch. ECD shedding initiates d...
