Changes in searching behaviour of CSL transcription complexes in Notch active conditions.

ABSTRACT: During development cells receive a variety of signals, which are of crucial importance to their fate determination. One such source of signal is the Notch signalling pathway, where Notch activity regulates expression of target genes through the core transcription factor CSL. To understand changes in transcription factor behaviour that lead to transcriptional changes in Notch active cells, we have probed CSL behaviours in real time, using in vivo Single Molecule Localisation Microscopy. Trajectory analysis reveals that Notch-On conditions increase the fraction of bound CSL molecules, but also the proportion of molecules with exploratory behaviours. These properties are shared by the co-activator Mastermind. Furthermore, both CSL and Mastermind, exhibit characteristics of local exploration n
