Abstract

Notch signaling involves the proteolytic cleavage of the transmembrane Notch receptor after binding to its transmembrane ligands. The Delta-like ligand 1 also undergoes proteolytic cleavage upon Notch binding, resulting in the production of a free intracellular domain. In this study, we have demonstrated that the Delta-like 1 intracellular domain (Dll1-IC) specifically binds to Notch1-IC in the nucleus, thereby disrupting the association of the Notch1-IC-RBP-Jk-MAM transcription activator complex. Additionally, the Notch1-mediated blockage of the induction of MyoD is abolished by the co-expression of Dll1-IC. Collectively, our results show that Dll1-IC functions as a negative regulator in Notch signaling via the disruption of the Notch1-IC-RBP-Jk complex.
