Binds directly the 5'-GTGRGAR-3' DNA consensus sequence, which is present in the regulatory region of several genes. Acts as a transcriptional repressor when it is not associated with Notch proteins. When associated with some Notch protein, it acts as a transcriptional activator that activates transcription of Notch target genes. Required for transcription of Sim. Spec [...] (594 aa) | ||||
Dl | Neurogenic locus protein delta; Acts as a ligand for Notch (N) receptor. Essential for proper differentiation of ectoderm. Dl is required for the correct separation of neural and epidermal cell lineages. Fringe (fng) acts in the Golgi to determine the type of O-linked fucose on the EGF modules in N, altering the ability of N to bind with Delta (Dl). O-fut1 also has a role in modulating the interaction. (833 aa) | ||||
H | Protein hairless; Is a potent antagonist of neurogenic gene activity during sensory organ development. The expression of distinct cell fates by the trichogen (shaft) / tormogen (socket) sister cell pair depends on the level of H activity.
