Notch signalling plays pivotal roles in development and homeostasis of all metazoan species. Notch is a receptor molecule that directly translates information of cell-cell contact to gene expression in the nucleus. Mastermind is a conserved and essential nuclear factor that supports the activity of Notch. Here, the past and current studies of the interplay between these factors are reviewed.
Notch信号通路在所有后生动物物种的发育和体内平衡中起着关键作用。Notch是一种受体分子,可将细胞间接触的信息直接转化为细胞核中的基因表达。Mastermind是一种保守且必需的核因子,可支持Notch的活性。在此,我们综述了过去和当前关于这些因子之间相互作用的研究。
