General notes
Notch is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum as an inactive form which is proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase (S1 cleavage) in the trans-golgi network before it reaches the plasma membrane to yield an active, ligand-accessible form. Cleavage results in a C-terminal fragment N(TM) and a N-terminal fragment N(EC). Following ligand binding, it is cleaved (S2 cleavage) by TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to yield a membrane-associated intermediate fragment called Notch extracellular truncation (NEXT). This fragment is then cleaved by presenilin-dependent gamma-secretase (S3 cleavage) to release the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane.

Target
-
FunctionFunctions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged1, Jagged2 and Delta1 to regulate cell-fate determination. Upon ligand activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) it forms a transcriptional activator complex with RBPJ/RBPSUH and activates genes of the enhancer of split locus. Affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs. May be important for normal lymphocyte function. In altered form, may contribute to transformation or progression in some T-cell neoplasms. Involved in the maturation of both CD4+ and CD8+ cells in the thymus. May be important for follicular differentiation and possibly cell fate selection within the follicle. During cerebellar development, may function as a receptor for neuronal DNER and may be involved in the differentiation of Bergmann glia. Represses neuronal and myogenic differentiation. May enhance HIF1A function by sequestering HIF1AN away from HIF1A.

Tissue specificityIn fetal tissues most abundant in spleen, brain stem and lung. Also present in most adult tissues where it is found mainly in lymphoid tissues.
-
Involvement in diseaseDefects in NOTCH1 are a cause of aortic valve disease 1 (AOVD1) [MIM:109730]. A common defect in the aortic valve in which two rather than three leaflets are present. It is often associated with aortic valve calcification and insufficiency. In extreme cases, the blood flow may be so restricted that the left ventricle fails to grow, resulting in hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the NOTCH family.
Contains 5 ANK repeats.
Contains 36 EGF-like domains.
Contains 3 LNR (Lin/Notch) repeats. -
Post-translational
modificationsSynthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum as an inactive form which is proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase in the trans-Golgi network before it reaches the plasma membrane to yield an active, ligand-accessible form. Cleavage results in a C-terminal fragment N(TM) and a N-terminal fragment N(EC). Following ligand binding, it is cleaved by TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to yield a membrane-associated intermediate fragment called notch extracellular truncation (NEXT). Following endocytosis, this fragment is then cleaved by presenilin dependent gamma-secretase to release a notch-derived peptide containing the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane.
Phosphorylated.
O-glycosylated on the EGF-like domains. Contains both O-linked fucose and O-linked glucose.
Ubiquitinated; undergoes 'Lys-29'-linked polyubiquitination catalyzed by ITCH. Monoubiquitination at Lys-1759 is required for activation by gamma-secretase cleavage, it promotes interaction with AAK1, which stabilizes it. Deubiquitination by EIF3F is necessary for nuclear import of activated Notch.
Hydroxylated at Asn-1955 by HIF1AN. Hydroxylated at Asn-2022 by HIF1AN (By similarity). Hydroxylation reduces affinity for HI1AN and may thus indirectly modulate negative regulation of NICD. -
Cellular localizationCell membrane and Nucleus. Following proteolytical processing NICD is translocated to the nucleus.

The levels of the Smad inhibitors SKI and active Notch were determined at the end of a 20 minute bout of high force lengthening contractions and then 0.5, 3, 6, 18, and 48 hours later. SKI and Notch protein was normalized to GAPDH.
Rat muscles were powdered on dry ice using a mortar and pestle and polytron homogenized in 10-fold mass excess of ice cold sucrose lysis buffer and 0.1% DTT. This was vortexed for 30 minutes at 4°C and centrifuged at 4°C for 10 minutes at 10,000×g to remove insoluble material.
Equal aliquots of protein were diluted in Laemmli sample buffer and boiled for 5 minutes. 5–10 µg of sample was then subjected to SDS-PAGE on 10% acrylamide gels at a constant current equal to 20 mA per gel and transferred to Protran nitrocellulose membrane using a semidry transfer apparatus at 100 V for 1 hour. Membranes were blocked in 5% dry milk in TBST, and then incubated over night at 4°C with ab8925 in TBST at 1:1,000.
The membranes were then washed 3x in TBST before incubation for 1 hour at room temperature with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies in TBST at 1:10,000. ECL detection.

Using this protocol there is strong staining of activated Notch 1 in nuclear/nucleolar compartments of the ovarian cortex.
Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer citrate pH 6.1 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were blocked in 3% H2O2/methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes.Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX.
Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.
