The ATPase TER94 regulates Notch signaling during Drosophila wing development.


ABSTRACT: The evolutionarily conserved Notch signaling pathway plays crucial roles in various developmental contexts. Multiple mechanisms are involved in the regulation of Notch pathway activity. Identified through a genetic mosaic screen, we show that the ATPase TER94 acts as a positive regulator of Notch signaling during Drosophila wing development. Depletion of TER94 causes marginal notches in the adult wing and the reduction of Notch target genes wingless and cut during wing margin formation. We provide evidence that TER94 is likely required for proper Notch protein localization and activation. Furthermore, we show that knockdown of the TER94 adaptor p47 leads to similar Notch signaling defects. Although the TER94 complex is implicated in various cellular processes, its role in the regulation of Notch pathways was previously uncharacterized. Our study demonstrates that TER94 positively regulates Notch signaling and thus reveals a novel role of TER94 in development.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.
