• W2023188066 abstract "The evolutionary conserved Notch signaling pathway is involved in cell fate specification and mediated by molecular interactions between the Notch receptors and the Notch ligands, Delta, Serrate, and Jagged. In this report, we demonstrate that like Notch, Delta1 and Jagged2 are subject to presenilin (PS)-dependent, intramembranous “γ-secretase” processing, resulting in the production of soluble intracellular derivatives. Moreover, and paralleling the observation that expression of familial Alzheimer's disease-linked mutant PS1 compromises production of Notch S3/NICD, we show that the PS-dependent production of Delta1 cytoplasmic derivatives are also reduced in cells expressing mutant PS1. These studies led us to conclude that a similar molecular apparatus is responsible for intramembranous processing of Notch and it's ligands. To assess the potential role of the cytoplasmic derivative on nuclear transcriptional events, we expressed a Delta1-Gal4VP16 chimera and demonstrated marked transcriptional stimulation of a luciferase-based reporter. Our findings offer the proposal that Delta1 and Jagged2 play dual roles as activators of Notch receptor signaling and as receptors that mediate nuclear signaling events via γ-secretase-generated cytoplasmic domains.

Multiple lines of evidence indicate that PS expression is essential for intramembranous “γ-secretase” processing of a number of type I membrane proteins, including the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) (2De Strooper B.

The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signal pathway for local cell-cell communication between neighboring cells involved in cell fate determination (11Artavanis-Tsakonas S. Rand M.D. Lake R.J. Science. 1999; 284: 770-776Google Scholar). The Notch receptors undergo proteolytic processing in the trans-Golgi network by a furin-like convertase in the ectodomain (12Logeat F. Bessia C. Brou C. LeBail O. Jarriault S. Seiday N. Israel A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1998; 95: 8108-8112Google Scholar), resulting in a mature heterodimeric receptor that accumulates on the cell surface (13Blaumueller C.M. Qi H. Zagoukas P. Artavanis-Tsakonas S. Cell. 1997; 90: 281-291Google Scholar). Ligand binding triggers sequential proteolytic processing within the extracellular juxtamembrane region by a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family, termed TACE (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α-converting enzyme) (14Brou C. Logeat F. Gupta N. Bessia C. LeBail O. Doedens J.R. Cumano A. Roux P. Black R.A. Israel A. Mol. Cell. 2000; 5: 207-216Google Scholar, 15Mumm J.S. Schroeter E.H. Saxena M.T. Griesemer A. Tian X. Pan D.J. Ray W.J. Kopan R. Mol. Cell. 2000; 5: 197-206Google Scholar), and subsequent intramembranous cleavage of this membrane-tethered derivative, termed S2/NEXT, by a PS-dependent γ-secretase activity (4De Strooper B. Annaertm W. Cuper P. Saftig P. Craessaerts K. Mumm J.S. Schroeter E.H. Schrijver V. Wolfe M.S. Ray W.J. Goate A. Kopan R. Nature. 1999; 398: 518-522Google Scholar). The resulting soluble cytoplasmic domain, termed S3/NICD (Notch intracellular domain), translocates to the nucleus and interacts with the DNA-binding proteins CSL, resulting in transcriptional activation of target genes (16Schroeter E.H. Kisslinger J.A. Kopan R. Nature. 1998; 393: 382-386Google Scholar, 17Struhl G. Adachi A. Cell. 1998; 93: 649-660Google Scholar). Several Notch ligands have been identified in vertebrates and invertebrates, including Delta, Serrate, and Jagged, transmembrane proteins that share several structural features including a DSL (Delta, Serrate, Lag-2) domain, required for Notch binding, and multiple epidermal growth factor-like repeats in respective extracellular domains (18Grace G.E. Mann R.S. Mitsiadis E. Henrique D. Carcangiu M.-L. Banks A. Leiman J. Ward D. Ish-Horowitz D. Artavanis-Tsakonas A. Am. J. Pathol. 1999; 165: 785-794Google Scholar, 19Lindsell C.E. Shawber C.J. Boulter J. Weinmaster G. Cell. 1995; 80: 909-917Google Scholar). Like Notch, Delta is a substrate for proteolysis by a metalloprotease of the ADAM family, termed Kuzbanian (20Qi H. Rand M.D. Wu X. Sestan N. Wang W. Rakic P. Xu T. Artavanis-Tsakonas S. Science. 1999; 283: 91-94Google Scholar), resulting in shedding of the ectodomain segment. The precise role of Kuzbanian-dependent proteolytic processing of Delta is not fully understood, but recent studies suggest that this event down-regulates Delta-mediated Notch signaling (21Mishra-Gorur K. Rand M.D. Perez-Villamil B. Artavanis-Tsakonas S. J. Cell Biol. 2002; 159: 313-324Google Scholar). In this regard, ectodomain shedding of Jagged has not been described to date. In this report, we demonstrate that like Notch, Delta1 and Jagged2, are subject to presenilin (PS)-dependent, γ-secretase processing, resulting in the production of soluble intracellular derivatives. We show that a plasma membrane-resident ∼40 kDa carboxyl-terminal fragment (CTF) that is presumably generated by a Kuzbanian-like activity serves as substrate for γ-secretase, resulting in the liberation of a cytosolic, ∼38-kDa CTF. We demonstrate that expression of a Delta1-Gal4VP16 chimera is capable of activating transcription of a luciferase reporter and that nuclear transactivation is abrogated by a highly potent and selective γ-secretase inhibitor. In parallel, we demonstrate that a ∼27-kDa Jagged2 CTF is also a substrate for γ-secretase. Our findings suggest that Delta1 and Jagged2 may play dual roles as activators of Notch receptor signaling and as receptors that mediate nuclear signaling events via γ-secretase-generated cytoplasmic domains. Finally, we report that expression of FAD-linked PS1 variants lead to compromised intramembranous cleavage of Delta1. These observations mimic earlier studies showing reduced cleavage at the Notch S3 site and the APP “ε” site within respective transmembrane domains in cells expressing FAD-linked mutant PS1. Thus, we argue that a similar molecular apparatus is responsible for intramembranous cleavage of Notch and it's ligand, Delta1. Mouse neuroblastoma N2a cells stably expressing mouse Delta1 and NIH 3T3 cells stably expressing human Jagged2 with a COOH-terminal Myc-epitope tag, were maintained in 200 μg/ml G418 (Invitrogen) and 2.5 μg/ml puromycin (Clontech), respectively. γ-Secretase inhibitor treatments were for 16 h with 2 μm of L-685,458 (22Shearman M.S. Beher D. Clark E.E. Lewis H.D. Harrison T. Hunt P. Nadin A. Smith A.L. Stevenson G. Castro J.L. Biochemistry. 2000; 39: 8698-8704Google Scholar). Mouse N2a cells constitutively expressing Myc-epitope Swedish APP695 (23Thinakaran G. Harris C.L. Ratovitski T. Davenport F. Slunt H.H. Price D.L. Borchelt D.R. Sisodia S.S. J. Biol. Chem. 1997; 272: 28415-28422Google Scholar) were cotransfected with 10 μg of PS1 cDNAs and 100 ng of pIREShyg (Clontech) and selected with 400 μg/ml hygromycin. Hygromycin-resistant colonies were further screened with 400 μg/ml of zeocin to generate a stable “pool” of ∼100–200 colonies. Cells were lysed in immunoprecipitation buffer containing detergents and protease inhibitors as described (24Kim S.-H. Leem J.Y. Lah J.J. Slunt H.H. Levey A.I. Thinakaran G. Sisodia S.S. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 43343-43350Google Scholar). Solubilized proteins were fractionated by electrophoresis on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and electrophoretically transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked and then probed with primary antibodies and horseradish peroxidase-coupled secondary antibodies (Pierce). Myc-tagged Delta1 and Jagged2 derivatives were detected using monoclonal Myc specific antibody, 9E10. Polyclonal antibody, PS1NT (25Thinakaran G. Getard F.B. Bouton C.M.L. Harris C.L. Price D.L. Borchelt D.R. Sisodia S.S. Neurobiol. Dis. 1998; 4: 438-453Google Scholar), was used to detect full-length PS1 and PS1 NH2-terminal fragment. β-Tubulin was detected by anti-β-Tubulin antibody (Sigma). Bound antibodies were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) detection system (PerkinElmer Life Science). Cells were grown to near confluence in a 10-cm dish and subjected to cell surface biotinylation with 0.5 mg/ml sulfosuccinimodobiotin (Sulfo-NHS-SS-biotin, Pierce) essentially as described previously (24Kim S.-H. Leem J.Y. Lah J.J. Slunt H.H. Levey A.I. Thinakaran G. Sisodia S.S. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 43343-43350Google Scholar). Cells were then lysed in immunoprecipitation buffer, and biotinylated proteins were captured with streptavidin-agarose beads (Pierce). To generate a construct encoding the Delta1-Gal4VP16 fusion protein, the primer pairs, 5′-CCATCGATTTAAGAAGCTACTGTCTTCTATC-3′ and 5′-CCATCGATCACCGTCCTCGTCAATTCC-3′, were incubated with pMst-GV-APP (26Cao X. Südhof T. Science. 2001; 293: 115-120Google Scholar) in a PCR. The PCR product was inserted between the Delta1 COOH terminus and Myc sequences. 0.4 μg of the resulting Delta1-Gal4VP16-Myc construct was cotransfected the Gal4 reporter plasmid (pG5E1B-luci) (26Cao X. Südhof T. Science. 2001; 293: 115-120Google Scholar), and 50 ng of a control plasmid encoding Rellina luciferase into HEK293 cells. Cells were harvested 48 h after transfection, and luciferase activities were determined using dual-luciferase reporter assay system (Promega) following manufacture's instructions. Values shown are the averages from triplicate experiments for each condition. The family of Notch receptors and Notch ligands are type I integral membrane proteins. It is now well established that Notch and the Notch ligand, Delta1, are substrates for processing by metalloproteases of the TACE/ADAM family (14Brou C. Logeat F. Gupta N. Bessia C. LeBail O. Doedens J.R. Cumano A. Roux P. Black R.A. Israel A. Mol. Cell. 2000; 5: 207-216Google Scholar, 15Mumm J.S. Schroeter E.H. Saxena M.T. Griesemer A. Tian X. Pan D.J. Ray W.J. Kopan R. Mol. Cell. 2000; 5: 197-206Google Scholar, 20Qi H. Rand M.D. Wu X. Sestan N. Wang W. Rakic P. Xu T. Artavanis-Tsakonas S. Science. 1999; 283: 91-94Google Scholar), resulting in shedding of respective ectodomains. In the case of Notch, TACE cleavage generates a membrane-tethered derivative, termed S2/NEXT, that is the substrate for intramembranous proteolysis by a presenilin-dependent γ-secretase activity (4De Strooper B. Annaertm W. Cuper P. Saftig P. Craessaerts K. Mumm J.S. Schroeter E.H. Schrijver V. Wolfe M.S. Ray W.J. Goate A. Kopan R. Nature. 1999; 398: 518-522Google Scholar). This cleavage event, termed S3 cleavage, occurs between amino acids 1743 and 1744 (16Schroeter E.H. Kisslinger J.A. Kopan R. Nature. 1998; 393: 382-386Google Scholar); the P1 valine residue is indispensable for S3 cleavage and subsequent nuclear signaling activity (16Schroeter E.H. Kisslinger J.A. Kopan R. Nature. 1998; 393: 382-386Google Scholar). Intramembranous cleavage at the S3 site results in the generation of a soluble, cytoplasmic derivative of Notch, termed S3/NICD, that is a transcriptional coactivator. Intrigued by the finding that Delta1 undergoes ectodomain shedding, and the presence of valine residues at analogous positions within the transmembrane domains of Delta1 and the Jagged2 (Fig.1 A), we asked whether these Notch ligands may be substrates for γ-secretase cleavage, as well. We first examined stable N2a cells that constitutively express Myc-tagged mouse Delta1 harboring a carboxyl-terminal, Myc-epitope tag. Western blot analysis revealed the presence of full-length ∼117-kDa Delta1-Myc and a prominent ∼40-kDa Delta1 carboxyl-terminal fragment (D-CTF1) that presumably represents the membrane-tethered fragment generated following metalloprotease cleavage within the ectodomain (20Qi H. Rand M.D. Wu X. Sestan N. Wang W. Rakic P. Xu T. Artavanis-Tsakonas S. Science. 1999; 283: 91-94Google Scholar, 21Mishra-Gorur K. Rand M.D. Perez-Villamil B. Artavanis-Tsakonas S. J. Cell Biol. 2002; 159: 313-324Google Scholar) (Fig. 1 B, lane 1). In addition, we observed low levels of a ∼38-kDa CTF (D-CTF2) at steady state (Fig. 1 B, lane 1). Importantly, the ∼38-kDa D-CTF2 derivative fails to accumulate in cells treated with a highly potent and selective γ-secretase inhibitor, L-685,458 (Fig. 1 B, lane 2), findings strongly suggesting that this fragments is generated by γ-secretase. To further establish that production of D-CTF2 is PS-dependent, we transiently expressed Delta1-Myc in N2a cells that constitutively express either wild-type human PS1 or a dominant negative human PS1 variant that harbors the D385A mutation (24Kim S.-H. Leem J.Y. Lah J.J. Slunt H.H. Levey A.I. Thinakaran G. Sisodia S.S. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 43343-43350Google Scholar); intramembranous processing of Notch1 is abrogated in cells expressing PS1 D385A (24Kim S.-H. Leem J.Y. Lah J.J. Slunt H.H. Levey A.I. Thinakaran G. Sisodia S.S. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 43343-43350Google Scholar). As we had observed in cells treated with the γ-secretase inhibitor, D-CTF2 failed to accumulate in cells expressing PS1 D385A (Fig. 2 B,lane 4). Collectively, these data strongly suggest that Delta1 is a substrate of PS-dependent, γ-secretase cleavage. We then examined the processing of the Notch ligand, Jagged2, in an NIH 3T3 cell line that stably expresses human Jagged2 harboring a carboxyl-terminal Myc-epitope tag. Western blot analysis revealed the presence of ∼170-kDa full-length Jagged2 and an ∼25-kDa Jagged2 carboxyl-terminal fragment (J-CTF2) (Fig.1 C, lane 1). However, the ∼25-kDa CTF2 was eliminated in cells treated with the γ-secretase inhibitor, L-685,458, and interestingly, a new ∼27-kDa J-CTF1 accumulates under these conditions (Fig. 1 C, lane 2). These findings suggest that J-CTF1 is constitutively processed by a γ-secretase-like activity, to generate J-CTF2. To establish that production of J-CTF2 is PS-dependent, we transiently expressed Jagged2-Myc into N2a cells that express the PS1 D385A mutation (24Kim S.-H. Leem J.Y. Lah J.J. Slunt H.H. Levey A.I. Thinakaran G. Sisodia S.S. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 43343-43350Google Scholar). As we had observed in cells treated with the γ-secretase inhibitor, the production of J-CTF2 is eliminated, and J-CTF1 now accumulates (Fig. 1 C, lane 4). These results indicate that Jagged2 is also a substrate of PS-dependent γ-secretase cleavage. To identify the subcellular site(s) at which the D-CTF2 and D-CTF1 derivatives of Delta1-Myc accumulate, we treated N2a cells that constitutively express Delta1-Myc with the membrane-impermeant, biotinylation reagent, sulfosuccinimidobiotin at 4 °C. Biotinylated, cell surface polypeptides were recovered from detergent-solubilized lysates using streptavidin-conjugated agarose, and captured proteins were subject to Western blot analysis with the Myc-specific, 9E10 antibody. In cells expressing Delta1-Myc, we observed biotinylated full-length Delta1-Myc and ∼40-kDa D-CTF1 (Fig.2 A, lane 5). However, the ∼38-kDa D-CTF2 was not recovered by immobilized streptavidin, despite the presence of the fragment in detergent lysates (Fig. 2 A, lane 2). Hence, D-CTF2, like the Notch S3/NICD derivative is not present at the cell surface, but presumably present in the cytosol. Moreover, D-CTF2 failed to accumulate in cells treated with the γ-secretase inhibitor, as expected, and streptavidin only recovered both full-length and ∼40-kDa D-CTF1 from detergent lysates of these inhibitor-treated cells (Fig. 2 A, lane 6). These observations strongly suggest that the soluble, cytoplasmic domain of Delta1 is generated following sequential cleavage of full-length Delta1 species by the concerted action of Kuzbanian-like metalloprotease(s) and a PS-dependent γ-secretase. It is now clear that the soluble intracellular domains of Notch and APP that are generated by γ-secretase are translocated to the nucleus and serve as transcriptional coactivators (16Schroeter E.H. Kisslinger J.A. Kopan R. Nature. 1998; 393: 382-386Google Scholar, 17Struhl G. Adachi A. Cell. 1998; 93: 649-660Google Scholar, 26Cao X. Südhof T. Science. 2001; 293: 115-120Google Scholar). To test the possibility that D-CTF2 could be transported to nucleus, and exhibit nuclear signaling activity, we generated cDNA encoding a Delta1-Gal4VP16 fusion protein and transfected this construct into human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells together with the reporter plasmid, pG5E1B-luciferase (26Cao X. Südhof T. Science. 2001; 293: 115-120Google Scholar). Compared with cells expressing the pG5E1B vector, expression of Delta1-Gal4VP16 fusion protein stimulated transcription by ∼70-fold (Fig. 2 B). Notably, transactivation of the reporter plasmid by the Delta1-Gal4VP16 fusion protein was markedly inhibited upon treatment of cells with the γ-secretase inhibitor (Fig. 2 B). These results suggest that intracellular domain of Delta1 that is generated by PS-dependent γ-secretase cleavage can be transported into nucleus, findings that raise the possibility that the cytosolic derivative of Delta1 may play a role in nuclear signaling events. Finally, and intrigued by the finding that cells expressing FAD-linked PS1 mutants enhance production of pathogenic β-amyloid 42 peptides (1Price D.L. Tanzi R.E. Borchelt D.R. Sisodia S.S. Annu. Rev. Genet. 1998; 32: 461-493Google Scholar), but exhibit impaired processing within the transmembrane domains of Notch and APP that liberate NICD and AICD, respectively (27Moehlmann T. Winkler E. Xia X. Edbauer D. Murrell J. Capell A. Kaether C. Zheng H. Ghetti B. Haass C. Steiner H. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2002; 99: 8025-8030Google Scholar, 28Chen F. Gu Y.J. Hasegawa H. Ruan X. Arawaka S. Fraser P. Westaway D. Mount H. St. George-Hyslop P. J. Biol. Chem. 2002; 277: 36521-36526Google Scholar, 29Song W. Nadeau P. Yuan M. Yang X. Shen J. Yankner B.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 6959-6963Google Scholar), we analyzed processing of Delta1-Myc in pools of N2a cells that constitutively express human wild-type PS1 or the PS1 ΔE9, M146L, E280A, or C410Y FAD variants. Compared with N2a cells expressing wild-type human PS1 (Fig. 3 A,lane 1), in which Delta1-Myc was processed to D-CTF1 and low levels of D-CTF2, as described above (Fig. 1 B), the production of the D-CTF2 fragment is reduced in most cell lines expressing FAD-linked PS1 variants, albeit with only a modest effect in the M146L cells (Fig. 3 A, lanes 2–5, quantified in Fig. 3 B), this despite comparable levels of expression of human PS1 (Fig. 3 A, lower panel). Taken together with the curious observation that expression of FAD-linked PS1 variants leads to reduced processing at the Notch S3 and APP ε sites, our findings that production of the D-CTF2 derived from Delta1 is also reduced by expression of mutant PS1 argues that a similar, if not identical, molecular apparatus is involved in substrate recognition and intramembranous processing of these functionally divergent membrane proteins. A wealth of evidence has emerged to support a role for PS in intramembranous γ-secretase processing of a host of type I membrane proteins. Intrigued by the similarity in the amino acid sequence of the transmembrane domains of Notch and it's ligands, Delta and Jagged, we hypothesized that these ligands might also serve as substrates for γ-secretase. In the present report, we confirm our prediction and offer several insights relevant to the molecular apparatus responsible for intramembranous processing of Delta1 and Jagged2 and the potential functional significance of this processing event. First, we demonstrate that the production of cytosolic derivatives of Delta1 and Jagged2, termed DICD and JICD, respectively, are inhibited either by a highly potent, and selective transition-state isostere of γ-secretase activity or by expression of the dominant negative D385A PS1 mutant. Thus, the Notch ligands, Delta1 and Jagged2, are novel substrates of PS-dependent γ-secretase processing. Second, and in view of earlier demonstrations that FAD-linked PS1 mutations impair cleavage at the Notch S3 and APP ε sites that lead to production of S3/NICD and AICD (27Moehlmann T. Winkler E. Xia X. Edbauer D. Murrell J. Capell A. Kaether C. Zheng H. Ghetti B. Haass C. Steiner H. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2002; 99: 8025-8030Google Scholar, 28Chen F. Gu Y.J. Hasegawa H. Ruan X. Arawaka S. Fraser P. Westaway D. Mount H. St. George-Hyslop P. J. Biol. Chem. 2002; 277: 36521-36526Google Scholar, 29Song W. Nadeau P. Yuan M. Yang X. Shen J. Yankner B.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 6959-6963Google Scholar), respectively, we assessed the effects of FAD-linked PS1 variants on γ-secretase processing of Delta1. We show that the generation of DICD is impaired in most of cell lines stably expressing four independent FAD-linked PS1 mutants. Most interestingly, the relative levels of reduction in DICD parallel the reported effects on S3/NICD production (29Song W. Nadeau P. Yuan M. Yang X. Shen J. Yankner B.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 6959-6963Google Scholar); expression of the C410Y variant has the most pronounced effect, while the M146L variant has only a modest effect on γ-secretase processing. Thus, we argue that the molecular apparatus involved in production of NICD, AICD, and DICD are similar, if not one in the same. Third, and in view of earlier conclusions that the intracellular domains of Notch (S3/NICD) and APP (AICD) are transcriptional coactivators (16Schroeter E.H. Kisslinger J.A. Kopan R. Nature. 1998; 393: 382-386Google Scholar, 17Struhl G. Adachi A. Cell. 1998; 93: 649-660Google Scholar, 24Kim S.-H. Leem J.Y. Lah J.J. Slunt H.H. Levey A.I. Thinakaran G. Sisodia S.S. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 43343-43350Google Scholar), we hypothesized that γ-secretase-generated DICD could be translocated to the nucleus and activate transcription of a reporter gene. Our present results support this prediction. Despite the strengths of these observations, the factors responsible for translocating DICD into the nucleus are not known. For the APP derivative, AICD, a cytosolic adaptor protein, Fe65, promotes nuclear translocation (24Kim S.-H. Leem J.Y. Lah J.J. Slunt H.H. Levey A.I. Thinakaran G. Sisodia S.S. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 43343-43350Google Scholar). For Notch1, three putative nuclear localization signals (NLS) are present within the ICD, and these may serve as recognition motifs by members of the importin/karyopherin α and β receptors involved in nuclear import. Similarly, the Delta1 intracellular domain contains two putative NLSs,PDRKRPE at amino acids 686–692, andRKRP at amino acids 688–691, while the Jagged2 intracellular domain contains putative NLSs RKRR at amino acids 1107–1110, and KRRK at 1108–1111. Hence, it is conceivable that DICD and JICD may be imported via the classical importin pathway, but further mutagenesis studies of the putative NLSs will be required to validate this hypothesis. In any event, our results offer the suggestion that PS-dependent γ-secretase processing of Delta1 or Jagged2 and production of DICD and JICD may play roles in activating nuclear transcriptional events. While the significance of these findings in relation to cell-intrinsic versus cell-extrinsic aspects of Notch signaling remains to be determined, the proposal that the Notch ligands, Delta1 and Jagged2, may perform roles both as ligands and receptors that directly participate in transcriptional activation warrants further investigation. We are grateful to Drs. J. S. Nye and J. Sklar for providing cell lines expressing Delta1 and Jagged2, respectively." @default.
