Figure 7. — The presence of Zfh1 and Mi-2 favours the decommissioning of enhancers from E(spl) and other Notch target genes in GMCs (yellow) to ensure their expression is switched off. Notch is on in NBs (green) and off in GMCs (yellow cells) due to asymmetrical segregation of Numb (ref). GMCs divide to produce two post-mitotic neuronal cells (grey). In NB lineages with constitutive Notch activity (Nact), the presence of Mi-2 at enhancers, recruited by Zfh1 (and potentially by other factors too), is sufficient to attenuate Nact, so that E(spl) and other target genes are switched off in GMCs. In a few NB progeny the effects of Mi-2 are overcome with time, and E(spl) genes are up-regulated as they revert to NB-like cells. Depletion of Mi-2 in NB lineages expressing Nact severely compromises enhancer decommissioning so that E(spl) and other Notch target genes are upregulated in many of the GMCs. The majority of the NB progeny acquire an NB-like fate. SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL: Legends for videos.
