Summary

Cell–cell interactions define a quintessential aspect of multicellular development. Metazoan morphogenesis depends on a handful of fundamental, conserved cellular interaction mechanisms, one of which is defined by the Notch signaling pathway. Signals transmitted through the Notch surface receptor have a unique developmental role: Notch signaling links the fate of one cell with that of a cellular neighbor through physical interactions between the Notch receptor and the membrane-bound ligands that are expressed in an apposing cell. The developmental outcome of Notch signals is strictly dependent on the cellular context and can influence differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic cell fates. The Notch pathway is conserved across species (Artavanis-Tsakonas et al., 1999; Bray, 2006; Kopan and Ilagan, 2009). In humans, Notch malfunction has been associated with a diverse range of diseases linked to changes in cell fate and cell proliferation including cancer (Louvi and Artavanis-Tsakonas, 2012). In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster we summarize the molecular biology of Notch signaling, its role in development and its relevance to disease.

Introduction

The functional Notch receptor is expressed on the cell surface as a processed heterodimer resulting from a Furin-dependent cleavage (S1 cleavage) in the Notch extracellular domain (NECD), which occurs during trafficking through the Golgi complex (Logeat et al., 1998) (see poster). The NECD undergoes O-linked glycosylation during Notch synthesis and secretion, which is crucial for proper folding of the Notch receptor and the interaction with its ligand DSL (Delta, Serrate, Lag-2) (Rana and Haltiwanger, 2011). The Notch receptor on the signal-receiving cell binds directly to ligands located on the apposing signal-sending cell (Bray, 2006; Kopan and Ilagan, 2009). Receptor–ligand engagement triggers a second NECD cleavage (S2 cleavage) by a metalloproteinase ADAM (known as Kuzbanian in Drosophila melanogaster), which in turn facilitates a further crucial signaling cleavage within the Notch transmembrane domain by a γ-secretase complex that contains Presenilin (S3 cleavage) (Struhl and Greenwald, 1999; Brou et al., 2000); this then releases the Notch intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane. The NECD is trans-endocytosed into the signal-sending cell together with its ligand (Gordon et al., 2008). DSL ligands can also be cleaved by a metalloproteinase ADAM, which in turn downregulates ligand activity (Zolkiewska, 2008).

Trans-interactions between ligand and receptor that are expressed in apposing cells define activating events, whereas cis-interactions – between the receptor and a ligand that is expressed in the same cell – are inhibitory in nature (Sprinzak et al., 2010; del Álamo et al., 2011). The molecular biology of cis-interactions is still being elucidated, but the interplay between cis- and trans-interactions is a crucial factor that distinguishes the signal-receiving cell from the signal-sending cell, an important decision for development and disease. In addition to cis–trans interactions, this crucial fate-determination step is also regulated by the ratio of ligand-competent receptors to receptor-competent ligands on the cell surface.

The released NICD translocates directly to the nucleus, where it forms a transcriptional complex with the DNA-binding protein CSL (CBF1, Suppressor of Hairless, Lag1), Mastermind (Mam) and transcriptional co-activators to drive the expression of Notch target genes (Bray, 2006; Kopan and Ilagan, 2009). In the absence of NICD, CSL forms complexes with a variety of co-repressors to suppress the transcription of Notch target genes (Bray, 2006; Kopan and Ilagan, 2009) (see poster).

Endocytosis and endosomal processing at different stages of Notch trafficking have been shown to have important and complex roles in regulating the activity of Notch signaling (Fortini, 2009; Yamamoto et al., 2010). Notably, endocytic trafficking has not only been implicated in ligand-dependent signaling (Coumailleau et al., 2009), but it has also been shown that within endocytic compartments the receptor can, under certain circumstances, be activated in a ligand-independent fashion. The physiological significance of such phenomena remains to be elucidated (Vaccari et al., 2008; Wilkin et al., 2008; Vaccari et al., 2009; Hori et al., 2011).

Structures of Notch and its ligands

Notch structure

Notch receptors are multidomain proteins, and have been conserved from invertebrates to humans. The poster panel ‘Structure of the Notch receptor and ligands’ shows representations of the Drosophila Notch receptor and the four mammalian Notch receptors (NOTCH 1, 2, 3 and 4). The NECD consists of 29 to 36 epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats, which are post-translationally modified by a variety of glycans and have been implicated in Notch function (Rana and Haltiwanger, 2011); most notably, the EGF-like repeats 11–12 have been shown to be necessary and sufficient for receptor-ligand interactions (Rebay et al., 1991). The NECD is followed by the negative regulatory region (NRR), which is composed of the three cysteine-rich LNR Notch repeats and the heterodimerization domain. The NRR has been reported to prevent the access of metalloproteinases to the S2 cleavage site of Notch in the absence of ligand (Bray, 2006; Kopan and Ilagan, 2009). The NICD consist of a RAM domain, ankyrin (ANK) repeats flanked by two nuclear localization signals (NLS), a transcriptional activation domain (TAD) and a C-terminal Pro Glu Ser Thr (PEST) domain. The RAM and ANK domains are essential for interacting with CSL in the nucleus.

Notch ligand structure

The DSL ligands of the Notch receptors have been also conserved throughout evolution (D’Souza et al., 2008). Drosophila Notch has two DSL ligands, Delta and Serrate, whereas there are five mammalian ligands, three of which belong to the Delta-like family (DLL1, DLL3 and DLL4) and two belong to the Jagged family of Serrate homologs, Jagged 1 and 2 [also known as JAG1 and JAG2, respectively (see poster)]. DSL ligands are transmembrane proteins with an extracellular domain that contains a characteristic number of EGF-like repeats and a cysteine-rich N-terminal DSL domain. The DSL domain is a conserved motif that is found in all DSL ligands and is required for their interaction with Notch. Serrate, Jagged 1 and Jagged 2 contain an additional cysteine-rich domain. In contrast to the canonical DSL ligands, non-canonical ligands lack the DSL domain and comprise a group of structurally diverse proteins, which includes integral and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked membrane proteins, and are presumed to modulate Notch receptor activity (D’Souza et al., 2010).

Glycosylation of Notch

The EGF repeats of Notch are subjected to three types of O-linked modification: O-glucosylation, O-fucosylation and O-GlcNAc addition (Rana and Haltiwanger, 2011). These post-translational modifications regulate Notch activity during its synthesis and secretion (Kopan and Ilagan, 2009). An O-fucosyltransferase, which is encoded by O-fut1 (POFUT1 in mammal), adds O-fucose to several Notch EGF-like repeats that harbor the consensus C2-x-x-x-x-(S/T)-C3 motif (Okajima and Irvine, 2002). It has also been shown that O-FUT1 functions as a chaperone to promote the folding and/or export of Notch to the plasma membrane (Okajima et al., 2005; Sasamura et al., 2007). The β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase Fringe (the three mammalian paralogs are known as Lunatic, Radical and Manic fringe) catalyzes the addition of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to the primary O-fucose (Rana and Haltiwanger, 2011). These modifications by Fringe alter the responsiveness of the Notch receptor to DSL ligands in a context-specific manner (Panin et al., 1997). Further elongation of the sugar modification with a galactose and sialic acid has been documented for mammalian Notch, but not in Drosophila (Rana and Haltiwanger, 2011). Rumi, an endoplasmatic reticulum protein, adds O-glucose to serine at the consensus sequence C1-x-S-x-P-C2 (Acar et al., 2008; Rana et al., 2011), and the O-glucose can be elongated by the addition of xylose (Rana and Haltiwanger, 2011).

Regulation of Notch signaling by membrane trafficking

Notch trafficking

Membrane trafficking has been shown to have an important and indeed complex function in the activation and regulation of Notch signaling (Yamamoto et al., 2010; Baron, 2012). The first evidence came from genetic studies on Drosophila shibire, which encodes the GTPase Dynamin, a key regulator of endocytosis (Seugnet et al., 1997). Classical genetic analysis demonstrated a requirement of Dynamin in both the signal-sending and the signal-receiving cell (Seugnet et al., 1997). Further studies, mostly in flies, identified several factors that modulate the membrane trafficking of Notch and its ligands. Notably, such membrane trafficking events have not only been associated with ligand-dependent activation of Notch but also with its ligand-independent activation, a phenomenon that is still not well understood. In either case, the activation is dependent on the S3 cleavage by γ-secretase (Struhl and Greenwald, 1999; Wilkin et al., 2008; Coumailleau et al., 2009).

Several proteins have been involved in the early steps of endocytosis – including Dynamin (as mentioned above), Numb, a cytoplasmic protein and Sanpodo, a multipass transmembrane protein that is localized to the cell membrane – and are required in the signal-receiving cell for Notch activation (Fortini, 2009). In asymmetric cell divisions, which are crucial for the differentiation of sensory organ precursors (SOPs), the interplay between Numb and Sandopo guides the asymmetric endocytic trafficking of the Notch receptor, which determines cell fate (Berdnik et al., 2002; Hutterer and Knoblich, 2005; Babaoglan et al., 2009). In this process, elegant work demonstrated that the receptor is activated in a subpopulation of Rab5-positive early endosomes, which are marked by SARA, an adaptor protein (Coumailleau et al., 2009). The SARA-containing endosomes comprise Notch and Delta, and also possess γ-secretase activity that can generate the NICD and hence activate the receptor (Coumailleau et al., 2009) (see poster).

Upon endocytosis, internalized Notch can recycle back to the plasma membrane or can be sorted to multivesicular bodies (MVBs) or late endosomes (Yamamoto et al., 2010; Baron, 2012). Sorting of Notch into MVBs or late endosomes is regulated by the ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) complexes, which consist of ESCRT-0 and Hrs, ESCRT-I, -II, -III, and Vps4 (Henne et al., 2011). Loss of ESCRT function can result in the ectopic activation of Notch signaling in a ligand-independent manner (Vaccari et al., 2008; Vaccari et al., 2009). Lethal (2) giant discs (lgd), which encodes a C2-containing phospholipid-binding protein, interacts with the ESCRT-III complex and regulates ligand-independent activation of Notch (Childress et al., 2006; Gallagher and Knoblich, 2006; Jaekel and Klein, 2006; Troost et al., 2012).

Ubiquitylation of Notch also has an important function in the regulation of Notch trafficking. A number of E3 ubiquitin ligases, including Suppressor of deltex [Su(dx)] (ITCH in mammals), and Nedd4, Cbl, have been shown to target Notch for degradation (Sakata et al., 2004; Wilkin et al., 2004; Jehn et al., 2002). Deltex (Dx) is a RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates the late-endosomal activation of Notch in a ligand-independent manner (Hori et al., 2004; Hori et al., 2005). However, when Dx forms a complex with Kurtz (Krz), a non-visual β-arrestin, it promotes the degradation of Notch (Mukherjee et al., 2005). This degradation of Notch by Dx and Krz is suppressed in the mutant form of Vps32, a component of the ESCRT-III complex (Hori et al., 2011). Thus, Dx can regulate Notch signaling in either a positive or a negative manner, depending on its interactions with other regulatory factors. Other factors that are involved in trafficking or fusion between late endosomes and lysosomes, such as the HOPS and AP3 complexes, are also required for Dx-dependent activation of Notch (Wilkin et al., 2008). Finally, the clathrin adaptor AP1 complex, which localizes to the trans-Golgi network and to recycling endosomes, has also been shown to regulate the trafficking of Notch during SOP (Benhra et al., 2011) and eye (Kametaka et al., 2012) development in Drosophila.

It has become clear that the mechanisms underlying Notch trafficking through the endosomal pathway are complex. This is reflected by the fact that genetic analysis of the various trafficking elements reveals several distinct phenotypic characteristics that influence Notch signaling in a strictly context-dependent manner (Hori et al., 2011).

DSL ligand trafficking

Endocytosis and endosomal trafficking of DSL ligands within the signal-sending cell are also essential requirements for activation of the Notch receptor (Yamamoto et al., 2010; Baron, 2012). Two RING-type E3 ligases, Neuralized (Neur) and Mindbomb (Mib), promote ligand endocytosis by ubiquitylation (Le Borgne et al., 2005; Wang and Struhl, 2005). Epsin, a ubiquitin-binding protein that interacts with phosphoinositol lipids and endocytic proteins, such as clathrin and AP-2, has been demonstrated to regulate ligand endocytosis (Wang and Struhl, 2004). Rab11-positive recycling endosomes have been shown to be required for Delta activity during SOP development in Drosophila (Emery et al., 2005). Recent studies show that ligand recycling does not change the bond strength of the ligand receptor, but appears to regulate the accumulation of ligands at the cell surface (Shergill et al., 2012). Following interactions with Notch on the surface of adjacent cells, a second endocytic event has been proposed that generates a ‘pulling force’ to activate Notch proteolysis, subsequently triggering trans-endocytosis of the NECD into the signal-sending cell, thereby releasing NICD in the signal-receiving cell (Tien et al., 2009; Musse et al., 2012).

Nuclear events in Notch signaling

The core components of the nuclear Notch complex include NICD, CSL and Mam (Bray, 2006; Kovall and Blacklow, 2010). In the absence of NICD, CSL is associated with co-repressors, such as CtBP, Hairless, Groucho, SMRT, SHRP (also known as Sav), MINT (also known as X11L) and SPEN (Schweisguth and Posakony, 1994; Zhou and Hayward, 2001; Barolo et al., 2002; Oswald et al., 2005). These co-repressors recruit histone deacetylases (HDACs) and other cofactors, thereby repressing the activation of Notch target genes until the NICD is presented in the nucleus (Hsieh et al., 1999; Zhou et al., 2000; Nagel et al., 2005). Upon activation of the Notch receptor, the released NICD moves from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Here, the RAM domain of NICD allows its interaction with CSL, which facilitates the binding of MAM at the interface between the ANK domain of NICD and CSL (Choi et al., 2012). This complex further recruits coactivators, such as histone acetyltransferases (CBP/p300) and chromatin remodeling complexes, which mediate the transcription of Notch target genes (Wallberg et al., 2002; Kadam and Emerson, 2003; Gause et al., 2006). Kinases, such as glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and cyclin C/cyclin-dependent kinase-8 (CDK8), have been shown to phosphorylate NICD, which is thought to be important for the stability of NICD and hence its activity (Inglés-Esteve et al., 2001; Espinosa et al., 2003; Fryer et al., 2004). The E3 ubiquitin ligase SEL10 (also known as FBXW7) modifies NICD and targets it for proteasomal degradation (Gupta-Rossi et al., 2001; Tsunematsu et al., 2004).

The role of Notch in development

Notch function during development

Notch signaling is remarkably pleiotropic and there is hardly a tissue that is not affected by cell fate choices that are regulated by Notch signaling. The developmental consequence of either down- or upregulating of Notch signaling is strictly context-specific, and the same Notch signal might, for instance, in one context promote proliferation, whereas in another result in apoptosis. Hence, the way in which Notch signaling is integrated with other signaling pathways in the context of a particular cellular physiology, dictates how Notch activity affects cell fate. In spite of this spatial and temporal complexity, lateral specification events are the hallmark of Notch-regulated cell fate (Greenwald, 1998). Lateral specification (a more general and accurate term than ‘lateral inhibition’, which is often used when referring to Notch) describes the mechanism by which cells that are in the process of adopting one particular cell fate influence the fate of a cellular neighbor (see poster). Nevertheless, many lineages rely on Notch-mediated lateral inhibition, as is the case of neuroblast differentiation within the neurogenic region of the Drosophila embryo, the classic example of the developmental action of Notch. In this case, a cell that is about to become a neuroblast inhibits its immediate neighbors from adopting the same fate. In terms of morphogenesis, this has two important implications: Notch helps in the segregation of specific lineages from a field of developmentally equivalent cells, and Notch signaling is also one of several crucial mechanisms that specifies borders between cellular fields (Bray, 2006).

An analogous function of Notch has been documented during the differentiation of the peripheral nervous system in Drosophila, where the analysis of the SOP cell lineage has provided a useful model for understanding the role of Notch signaling in binary cell-fate decisions (see poster). After SOP cell division, one of the daughter cells becomes the signal-sending cell, whereas the other cell becomes the signal-receiving cell, leading to asymmetric activation of Notch signaling. The progeny again uses the Notch pathway in a second round of cell division to establish different cell fates (socket, hair, sheath and neuron) (Bray, 2006). As alluded to above, Notch signaling can also contribute to the establishment of boundaries between distinct cell populations to segregate the two groups of cells (see poster).

Notch in stem cells

In general, activation of the Notch signaling pathway is associated with early cell lineages in development, making Notch a very good marker for lineage tracing (Fre et al., 2011). Notch signaling has been implicated in the regulation of an increasing number of stem cells in many different tissues, leading to it being characterized as a ‘stem cell pathway’ (Liu et al., 2010). It is not possible to review the spectrum of stem cell systems, in which Notch has been implicated, in the context of this article. However, we need to emphasize that Notch activity is pervasive and important for the differentiation, maintenance and proliferation of stem cells in almost every system examined, including stem cell lineages, intestines, haematopoietic system, germline, various epithelia, muscle, mesenchyme, nervous system, and others (Liu et al., 2010; Perdigoto and Bardin, 2013; Kageyama et al., 2010; Conboy and Rando, 2002; Conboy et al., 2003; Carlson et al., 2008).

As an example, the adult Drosophila midgut contains intestinal stem cells (ISCs), which divide to self-renew and to produce committed progenitor cells called enteroblasts (Micchelli and Perrimon, 2006; Ohlstein and Spradling, 2006) (see poster). The enteroblasts further differentiate terminally into absorptive enteroctye cells and secretory enteroendocrine cells (Micchelli and Perrimon, 2006; Ohlstein and Spradling, 2006). Notch signaling has been shown to mediate asymmetric cell divisions of ISCs in the adult midgut in Drosophila. Delta is highly expressed in ISCs (Ohlstein and Spradling, 2007) and induces enteroblasts to differentiate to the enteroctye cell fate, whereas its presence at only low levels has been proposed to promote the secretory enteroendocrine cell fate (Ohlstein and Spradling, 2007). The fucosylation of Notch has been implicated in the ISC commitment (Perdigoto et al., 2011).

Proliferation and apoptosis

Notch signaling has been shown to direct cells into proliferative or apoptotic states in a context-specific manner (Pallavi et al., 2012). Interestingly, Notch has both cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous effects on mitotic activity, which it can either promote or suppress depending on the cellular context. Although many aspects of Notch signaling in proliferation and apoptosis remain poorly understood, its potential to link these events to differentiation might be of particular relevance to dysproliferative states, including cancer (Bray, 2006; Fiúza and Arias, 2007; Bray and Bernard, 2010).

The developmental context of a cell appears to dictate how activation of Notch affects the cell cycle. The underlying basis appears complex, as, for instance, activation of Notch signaling can have either oncogenic or tumor-suppressive effects in tumors of the same type. As is the case in stem cell differentiation, this apparent complexity is likely to be the result of crosstalk between Notch signaling and other signaling pathways (Hurlbut et al., 2007; Koch and Radtke, 2010; Louvi and Artavanis-Tsakonas, 2012; Colombo et al., 2013).

The role of Notch signaling in disease

Given the profound and widespread roles of Notch signaling across a range of tissues, it is perhaps no surprise that abnormal Notch signaling is involved in several inherited diseases in humans, notably cancer. The link between Notch signaling and disease has been reviewed recently (Gridley, 2003; Fiúza and Arias, 2007; Louvi and Artavanis-Tsakonas, 2012; Penton et al., 2012); the tables shown on the poster summarize the inherited syndromes that are associated with abnormal Notch signaling and emphasize the highly pleiotropic nature of Notch, as these syndromes present a broad range of clinical symptoms. Notch has been increasingly appreciated to have a major direct and indirect role in cancer. Both solid tumors and leukemias have been associated with Notch where it has been shown, depending on the context, to act both as an oncogene and a tumor suppressor.

Perspectives

Since the discovery of the Notch locus in Drosophila almost 100 years ago, great progress has been made in elucidating the core mechanism of the canonical Notch signaling pathway. Recent genome-scale studies reveal an extraordinarily complex network of genes that can affect Notch activity in Drosophila (Guruharsha et al., 2012), and this cohort of genes is complemented and extended by studies in other organisms. This highly interconnected network contrasts with any conventional view of the Notch signaling pathway as a simple linear sequence of events. Although we now have an unprecedented insight into the way in which such a fundamental signaling mechanism is controlled by the genome, we are faced with serious challenges in analyzing the underlying molecular mechanisms of Notch signal control. However, systems-level approaches should shed light on the complex molecular circuitry that governs this pathway and provide insights into the mechanisms that are relevant to Notch-related pathologies.

Acknowledgments

A short, schematic summary as this one, involving a pathway with so many different developmental actions is inevitably incomplete and hence also somewhat biased, in spite of our best efforts.
