Notch signaling plays crucial roles in the control of cell fate and physiology through local cell-cell interactions. The core processes of Notch signal transduction are well established, but the mechanisms that fine-tune the pathway in various developmental and post-developmental contexts are less clear. Drosophila almondex, which encodes an evolutionarily conserved double-pass transmembrane protein, was identified in the 1970s as a maternal-effect gene that regulates Notch signaling in certain contexts, but its mechanistic function remains obscure. In this study, we examined the role of almondex in Notch signaling during early Drosophila embryogenesis. We found that in addition to being required for lateral inhibition in the neuroectoderm, almondex is also partially required for Notch signaling-dependent single-minded expression in the mesectoderm. Furthermore, we found that almondex is required for proper subcellular Notch receptor distribution in the neuroectoderm, specifically during mid-stage 5 development. The absence of maternal almondex during this critical window of time caused Notch to accumulate abnormally in cells in a mesh-like pattern. This phenotype did not include any obvious change in subcellular Delta ligand distribution, suggesting that it does not result from a general vesicular-trafficking defect. Considering that dynamic Notch trafficking regulates signal output to fit the specific context, we speculate that almondex may facilitate Notch activation by regulating intracellular Notch receptor distribution during early embryogenesis.

母体almondex是一种神经源性基因,是果蝇早期胚胎发生过程中适当的亚细胞Notch分布所必需的。

Notch信号通过局部细胞间相互作用在细胞命运和生理控制中起着至关重要的作用。Notch信号转导的核心过程已经很好地建立,但是在各种发育和发育后环境中微调途径的机制尚不清楚。果蝇almondex编码一种进化上保守的双通道跨膜蛋白,在1970年代被鉴定为母本效应基因,在某些情况下调节Notch信号传导,但其机械功能仍然不清楚。在这项研究中,我们检查了在果蝇早期胚胎发生过程中almondex在Notch信号中的作用。我们发现,除了需要在神经外胚层中进行侧向抑制外,在中皮中,Notch信号依赖的一键表达也需要almondex。此外,我们发现almondex是神经外胚层中适当的亚细胞Notch受体分布所必需的,特别是在5期中期发育期间。在此关键时间段内,母体almondex的缺失导致Notch以网状模式异常积累在细胞中。此表型不包括亚细胞Delta配体分布的任何明显变化,表明它不是由一般的水泡运输缺陷引起的。考虑到动态的Notch转运调节信号输出以适应特定环境,我们推测almondex可能通过在早期胚胎发生过程中调节细胞内Notch受体的分布来促进Notch的激活。我们发现almondex是神经外胚层中适当的亚细胞Notch受体分布所必需的,特别是在5期中期发育期间。在此关键时间段内,母体almondex的缺失导致Notch以网状模式异常积累在细胞中。此表型不包括亚细胞Delta配体分布的任何明显变化,表明它不是由一般的水泡运输缺陷引起的。考虑到动态的Notch转运调节信号输出以适应特定环境,我们推测almondex可能通过在早期胚胎发生过程中调节细胞内Notch受体的分布来促进Notch的激活。我们发现almondex是神经外胚层中适当的亚细胞Notch受体分布所必需的,特别是在5期中期发育期间。在此关键时间段内,母体almondex的缺失导致Notch以网状模式异常积累在细胞中。此表型不包括亚细胞Delta配体分布的任何明显变化,表明它不是由一般的水泡运输缺陷引起的。考虑到动态的Notch转运调节信号输出以适应特定环境,我们推测almondex可能通过在早期胚胎发生过程中调节细胞内Notch受体的分布来促进Notch的激活。在此关键时间段内,母体almondex的缺失导致Notch以网状模式异常积累在细胞中。此表型不包括亚细胞Delta配体分布的任何明显变化,表明它不是由一般的水泡运输缺陷引起的。考虑到动态的Notch转运调节信号输出以适应特定环境,我们推测almondex可能通过在早期胚胎发生过程中调节细胞内Notch受体的分布来促进Notch的激活。在此关键时间段内,母体almondex的缺失导致Notch以网状模式异常积累在细胞中。此表型不包括亚细胞Delta配体分布的任何明显变化,表明它不是由一般的水泡运输缺陷引起的。考虑到动态的Notch转运调节信号输出以适应特定环境,我们推测almondex可能通过在早期胚胎发生过程中调节细胞内Notch受体的分布来促进Notch的激活。
