Abstract:
Notch receptor signaling controls cell-fate specification, self-renewal, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis throughout development and regeneration in all animal species studied to date. Its dysfunction causes several developmental defects and diseases in the adult. A key feature of Notch signaling is its remarkable cell-context dependency. In this review, we summarize the influences of the cellular context that regulate Notch activity and propose a model how the interplay between the cell-intrinsically established chromatin state and the cell-extrinsic signals that modify chromatin may select for Notch target accessibility and activation in different cellular contexts.

The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not until 1985...
