Notch Structure cartoon

The N-terminal part of the Notch ectodomain consists of 36 EGF-like repeats (gray ovals) and three LNRs (lin-12 Notch repeat; orange ovals). EGF repeats 11 and 12 interact with the ligands (pink ovals). NICD consists of an N-terminal RAM (recombination binding protein-J -associated molecule) domain, an ankyrin (ANK) domain (gray rectangles), and less-conserved regions, including a variable transactivation domain and a C-terminal PEST sequence (gray star). The red arrows indicate the cleavage sites: S1 (Furin), S2 (ADAM metalloprotease), and S3/S4 (γ-secretase).
