NOTCH1 S2513 is critical for the regulation of NICD levels impacting the segmentation clock in hiPSC-derived PSM cells and somitoids.

ABSTRACT: The segmentation clock is a molecular oscillator that regulates the timing of somite formation in the developing vertebrate embryo. NOTCH signaling is one of the key pathways required for proper functioning of the segmentation clock. Aberrant NOTCH signaling results in developmental abnormalities such as congenital scoliosis as well as diseases such as T-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-ALL). In this study, we analyzed the effects of a mutation detected in T-ALL patients on somitogenesis using human iPSC-derived PSM cells and somitoids. Mutation of NOTCH1 serine 2513 into alanine compromises the interaction of Notch intracellular domain (NICD) with the F-box protein FBXW7 and consequently increases NICD stability and NICD levels in PSM cells. Moreover, the mutation impairs several aspe
