The Notch intracellular domain (NICD) forms a transcriptional activation complex with the DNA-binding factor CSL and a transcriptional co-activator of the Mastermind family (MAML). The "RAM" region of NICD recruits Notch to CSL, facilitating the binding of MAML at the interface between the ankyrin (ANK) repeat domain of NICD and CSL. Here, we report the X-ray structure of a human MAML1/RAM/ANK/CSL/DNA complex, and probe changes in component dynamics upon stepwise assembly of a MAML1/NICD/CSL complex using HX-MS. Association of CSL with NICD exerts remarkably little effect on the exchange kinetics of the ANK domain, whereas MAML1 binding greatly retards the exchange kinetics of ANK repeats 2-3. These exchange patterns identify critical features contributing to the cooperative assembly of Notch transcription complexes (NTCs), highlight the importance of MAML recruitment in rigidifying the ANK domain and stabilizing its interface with CSL, and rationalize the requirement for MAML1 in driving cooperative dimerization of NTCs on paired-site DNA.

Computing resources structural biologists need to discover the shapes of the molecules of life, it provides access to web-enabled structural biology applications, data sharing facilities, biological data sets, and other resources valuable to the computational structural biology community. Consortium includes X-ray crystallography, NMR and electron microscopy laboratories worldwide.SBGrid Service Center is located at Harvard Medical School.SBGrid's NIH-compliant Service Center supports SBGrid operations and provides members with access to Software Maintenance, Computing Access, and Training. Consortium benefits include: * remote management of your customized collection of structural biology applications on Linux and Mac workstations; * access to commercial applications exclusively licensed to members of the Consortium, such as NMRPipe, Schrodinger Suite (limited tokens) and the Incentive version of Pymol; remote management of supporting scientific applications (e.g., bioinformatics, computational chemistry and utilities); * access to SBGrid seminars and events; and * advice about hardware configurations, operating system installations and high performance computing. Membership is restricted to academic/non-profit research laboratories that use X-ray crystallography, 2D crystallography, NMR, EM, tomography and other experimental structural biology technologies in their research. Most new members are fully integrated with SBGrid within 2 weeks of the initial application.
