Abstract
The Notch signaling pathway controls cell growth, differentiation, and fate decisions. Dysregulation of Notch signaling has been linked to various human diseases. Notch receptor resides in multiple cellular compartments, and its translocation plays a central role in pathway activation. However, the spatial regulation of Notch receptor functions remains largely elusive. Using TurboID-based proximity labeling followed by affinity purification and mass spectrometry, we establish a spatially defined human Notch receptor interaction network. Notch receptors interact with different proteins in distinct subcellular compartments to perform specific cellular functions. This spatially defined interaction network also reveals that a large fraction of NOTCH is stored at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment and recruits Ataxin-2-dependent recycling machinery for rapid recycling, Notch signaling activation, and leukemogenesis. Our work provides insights into dynamic Notch receptor complexes with exquisite spatial resolution, which will help in elucidating the detailed regulation of Notch receptors and highlight potential therapeutic targets for Notch-related pathogenesis.

Abstract
Notch is an ancient transmembrane receptor with crucial roles in cell-fate choices. Although the 'canonical' Notch pathway and its core members are well established - involving ligand-induced cleavage of Notch for transcriptional regulation - it has been unclear whether Notch can also function independently of ligand and transcription ('non-canonically') through a common mechanism. Recent studies suggest that Notch can non-canonically exert its biological functions by post-translationally targeting Wnt/β-catenin signaling, an important cellular and developmental regulator. The non-canonical Notch pathway appears to be highly conserved from flies to mammals. Here, we discuss the emerging conserved mechanism and role of ligand/transcription-independent Notch signaling in cell and developmental biology.

Abstract
In vertebrates, the paraxial mesoderm already exhibits a complex Hox gene pattern by the time that segmentation occurs and somites are formed. The anterior boundaries of the Hox genes are always maintained at the same somite number, suggesting coordination between somite formation and Hox expression. To study this interaction, we used morpholinos to knockdown either the somitogenesis gene X-Delta-2 or the complete Hox paralogous group 1 (PG1) in Xenopus laevis. When X-Delta-2 is knocked down, Hox genes from different paralogous groups are downregulated from the beginning of their expression at gastrula stages. This effect is not via the canonical Notch pathway, as it is independent of the Notch effector Su(H). We also reveal for the first time a clear role for Hox genes in somitogenesis, as loss of PG1 gene function results in the perturbation of somite formation and downregulation of the X-Delta-2 expression in the PSM. This effect on X-Delta-2 expression is also observed during neurula stages, before the somites are formed. These results show that somitogenesis and patterning of the anteroposterior axis are closely linked via a feedback loop involving Hox genes and X-Delta-2, suggesting the existence of a coordination mechanism between somite formation and anteroposterior patterning. Such a mechanism is likely to be functional during gastrulation, before the formation of the first pair of somites, as suggested by the early X-Delta-2 regulation of the Hox genes.

Abstract
One of the first steps in embryonic mesodermal differentiation is allocation of cells to particular tissue fates. In Drosophila, this process of mesodermal subdivision requires regulation of the bHLH transcription factor Twist. During subdivision, Twist expression is modulated into stripes of low and high levels within each mesodermal segment. High Twist levels direct cells to the body wall muscle fate, whereas low levels are permissive for gut muscle and fat body fate. We show that Su(H)-mediated Notch signaling represses Twist expression during subdivision and thus plays a critical role in patterning mesodermal segments. Our work demonstrates that Notch acts as a transcriptional switch on mesodermal target genes, and it suggests that Notch/Su(H) directly regulates twist, as well as indirectly regulating twist by activating proteins that repress Twist. We propose that Notch signaling targets two distinct 'Repressors of twist' - the proteins encoded by the Enhancer of split complex [E(spl)C] and the HLH gene extra machrochaetae (emc). Hence, the patterning of Drosophila mesodermal segments relies on Notch signaling changing the activities of a network of bHLH transcriptional regulators, which, in turn, control mesodermal cell fate. Since this same cassette of Notch, Su(H) and bHLH regulators is active during vertebrate mesodermal segmentation and/or subdivision, our work suggests a conserved mechanism for Notch in early mesodermal patterning.

Abstract
Intensive studies of three proteins--Presenilin, Notch, and the amyloid precursor protein (APP)--have led to the recognition of a direct intersection between early development and late-life neurodegeneration. Notch signaling mediates many different intercellular communication events that are essential for determining the fates of neural and nonneural cells during development and in the adult. The Notch receptor acts in a core pathway as a membrane-bound transcription factor that is released to the nucleus by a two-step cleavage mechanism called regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). The second cleavage is effected by Presenilin, an unusual polytopic aspartyl protease that apparently cleaves Notch and numerous other single-transmembrane substrates within the lipid bilayer. Another Presenilin substrate, APP, releases the amyloid ss-protein that can accumulate over time in limbic and association cortices and help initiate Alzheimer's disease. Elucidating the detailed mechanism of Presenilin processing of membrane proteins is important for understanding diverse signal transduction pathways and potentially for treating and preventing Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
The Notch signalling pathway appears to be ubiquitous in virtually all cell-cell contacts in all metazoan animals, and is best known and most throughout studied in Drosophila melanogaster. In this species the Notch signalling pathway regulates, with both positive and negative signals, the differentiation of at least central and peripheral nervous system and eye, wing disc, oogenesis, segmental appendages such as antennae and legs, and muscles, through lateral inhibition or induction. In general, the pathway works as follows: Notch is most likely a dimeric transmembrane receptor at the cell surface, where it is activated by its ligands Serrate and or Delta from the neighbouring cell Fringe, discriminating between the two ligands. Then, the receptor is cleaved by a proteolytic mechanism in which Presenilin plays an important role, and the intracellular domain is transferred to the nucleus, where it, together with the Suppressor of Hairless protein, constitutes a transcription factor which activates the Notch target genes, mainly located in the Enhancer of split complex. These target genes then encode repressor proteins.

Abstract
Abstract Recent years have seen a renaissance of investigation into the mechanisms of inner ear development. Genetic analysis of zebrafish has contributed significantly to this endeavour, with several dramatic advances reported over the past year or two. Here, we review the major findings from recent work in zebrafish. Several cellular and molecular mechanisms have been elucidated, including the signaling pathways controlling induction of the otic placode, morphogenesis and patterning of the otic vesicle, and elaboration of functional attributes of inner ear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Members of the Notch family of receptors mediate a process known as lateral inhibition that plays a prominent role in the suppression of cell fates during development. This function is triggered by a ligand, Delta, and is implemented by the release of the intracellular domain of Notch from the membrane and by its interaction with the protein Suppressor of Hairless [Su(H)] in the nucleus. There is evidence that Notch can also signal independently of Su(H). In particular, in Drosophila, there is evidence that a Su(H)-independent activity of Notch is associated with Wingless signaling. RESULTS We report that Ubx(VM)B, a visceral mesoderm-specific enhancer of the Ubx gene of Drosophila, is sensitive to Notch signaling. In the absence of Notch, but not of Su(H), the enhancer becomes activated earlier and over a wider domain than in the wild type. Furthermore, the removal of Notch reduces the requirement for Disheveled-mediated Wingless signaling to activate this enhancer. This response to Notch is likely to be mediated by the dTcf binding sites in the Ubx(VM)B enhancer. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that, in Drosophila, an activity of Notch that is likely to be independent of Su(H) inhibits Wingless signaling on Ubx(VM)B. A possible target of this activity is dTcf. As dTcf has been shown to be capable of repressing Wingless targets, our results suggest that this repressive activity may be regulated by Notch. Finally, we suggest that Wingless signaling is composed of two steps, a down-regulation of a Su(H)-independent Notch activity that modulates the activity of dTcf and a canonical Wingless signaling event that regulates the activity of Armadillo and its interaction with dTcf.

Abstract
The Midline Glia of Drosophila are required for nervous system morphogenesis and midline axon guidance during embryogenesis. In origin, gene expression and function, this lineage is analogous to the floorplate of the vertebrate neural tube. The expression or function of over 50 genes, summarised here, has been linked to the Midline Glia. Like the floorplate, the cells which generate the Midline Glia lineage, the mesectoderm, are determined by the interaction of ectoderm and mesoderm during gastrulation. Determination and differentiation of the Midline Glia involves the Drosophila EGF, Notch and segment polarity signaling pathways, as well as twelve identified transcription factors. The Midline Glia lineage has two phases of cell proliferation and of programmed cell death. During embryogenesis, the EGF receptor pathway signaling and Wrapper protein both function to suppress apoptosis only in those MG which are appropriately positioned to separate and ensheath midline axonal commissures. Apoptosis during metamorphosis is regulated by the insect steroid, Ecdysone. The Midline Glia participate in both the attraction of axonal growth cones towards the midline, as well as repulsion of growth cones from the midline. Midline axon guidance requires the Drosophila orthologs of vertebrate genes expressed in the floorplate, which perform the same function. Genetic and molecular evidence of the interaction of attractive (Netrin) and repellent (Slit) signaling is reviewed and summarised in a model. The Midline Glia participate also in the generation of extracellular matrix and in trophic interactions with axons. Genetic evidence for these functions is reviewed.

Abstract
Selective cell death provides developing tissues with the means to precisely sculpt emerging structures. By imposing patterned cell death across a tissue, boundaries can be created and tightened. As such, programmed cell death is becoming recognized as a major mechanism for patterning of a variety of complex structures. Typically, cell types are initially organized into a fairly loose pattern; selective death then removes cells between pattern elements to create correct structures. In this review, we examine the role of selective cell death across the course of Drosophila development, including the tightening of embryonic segmental boundaries, head maturation, refining adult structures such as the eye and the wing, and the ability of cell death to correct for pattern defects introduced by gene mutation. We also review what is currently known of the relationship between signals at the cell surface that are responsible for tissue patterning and the basal cell death machinery, an issue that remains poorly understood.
