Notch signalling in the nucleus: roles of Mastermind-like (MAML) transcriptional coactivators

Notch signalling plays pivotal roles in development and homeostasis of all metazoan species. Notch is a receptor molecule that directly translates information of cell–cell contact to gene expression in the nucleus. Mastermind is a conserved and essential nuclear factor that supports the activity of Notch. Here, the past and current studies of the interplay between these factors are reviewed.
