H, N, C backbone and sidechain resonance assignments and secondary structure of mouse NOTCH1 EGF27.

NOTCH1 is a transmembrane receptor in metazoans that is linked to a variety of disorders. The receptor contains an extracellular domain (ECD) with 36 tandem epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats. The ECD is responsible for intercellular signaling via protein-ligand interactions with neighboring cells. Each EGF repeat consists of approximately 40 amino acids and 3 conserved disulfide bonds. The Abruptex region (EGF24-29) is critical for NOTCH1 signaling and is known for its missense mutations. Certain EGF repeats are modified with the addition of O-linked glycans and many have calcium binding sites, which give each EGF repeat a unique function. It has been shown that the loss of the O-fucose site of EGF27 alters NOTCH1 activity. To investigate the role of glycosylation in the NOTCH1 signaling pathway, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been employed to study the structures of EGF27 and its glycoforms. Here, we report the backbone and sidechain H, N, and C-resonance assignments of the unmodified EGF27 protein and the predicted secondary structure derived from the assigned chemical shifts.
