Abstract
|
|
|
The Notch receptor and its ligands are key components in a core metazoan
signaling pathway that regulates the spatial patterning, timing and outcome of
many cell-fate decisions. Ligands contain a disulfide-rich Delta/Serrate/LAG-2
(DSL) domain required for Notch trans-activation or cis-inhibition. Here we
report the X-ray structure of a receptor binding region of a Notch ligand, the
DSL-EGF3 domains of human Jagged-1 (J-1(DSL-EGF3)). The structure reveals a
highly conserved face of the DSL domain, and we show, by functional analysis of
Drosophila melanogster ligand mutants, that this surface is required for both
cis- and trans-regulatory interactions with Notch. We also identify, using NMR,
a surface of Notch-1 involved in J-1(DSL-EGF3) binding. Our data imply that cis-
and trans-regulation may occur through the formation of structurally distinct
complexes that, unexpectedly, involve the same surfaces on both ligand and
receptor.

Figure 2.
(a) The overall structure of J-1[DSL-EGF3] is shown in a
cartoon representation colored from blue at the N terminus
(residue 187) to red at the C terminus (residue 335). Disulfide
bonds are shown in yellow stick representations, and two views
differing by a rotation of 90° about the long axis are
shown. (b) Stereo view of the DSL domain fold. (c) Sequences of
the four J-1[DSL-EGF3] domains with disulfide bond pairings
indicated. (d) Crystallographic structure of N-1[11–13] shown
as in a. The bound Ca^2+ in each EGF domain is shown in a
space-filling representation. All structural figures were
generated with PyMol (http://www.pymol.org/).

Figure 3.
Analysis of an alignment of the Jagged/Delta family DSL
domains representing various species (H. sapiens Jagged-1,
residues 187–229; D. melanogaster Serrate, residues 237–279;
H. sapiens Jagged-2, residues 198–240; H. sapiens Delta-like
1, residues 179–221; D. melanogaster Delta, residues
184–226; H. sapiens Delta-like 4, residues 175–217; C.
elegans LAG-2, residues 124–166; H. sapiens Delta-like 3,
residues 178–215) (a) and the DSL structure (b) reveals a
series of highly conserved, but surface-exposed, residues.
Residues that are conserved and predicted to form a Notch
binding face are shown in red, cysteines in yellow and a
nonconserved residue on the opposite face in blue. (c)
Electrostatic surface potential of J-1[DSL-EGF3] and
N-1[11–13] plotted at  4
kT e^-1 using APBS^54. Note the positively charged patch (blue)
within the DSL domain of Jagged-1 and the negatively charged
surface (red) of Notch. The surfaces predicted by
sequence/structure analysis (J-1[DSL-EGF3]) and NMR studies
(N-1[11–13]) to be involved in binding are highlighted by
green bands.
