Intramembrane proteolysis by presenilin-dependent gamma-secretase produces the Notch intracellular cytoplasmic domain (NCID) and Alzheimer disease-associated amyloid-beta. Here, we show that upon Notch signaling the intracellular domain of Notch-1 is cleaved into two distinct types of NICD species due to diversity in the site of S3 cleavage. Consistent with the N-end rule, the S3-V cleavage produces stable NICD with Val at the N terminus, whereas the S3-S/S3-L cleavage generates unstable NICD wi ...[more]
