Notch signalling affects most aspects of development, not least the determination of neural stem cell fate. Here, we describe the presence of the Notch-1 intracellular domain (N1(ICD)) in sub-nuclear bodies in SH-SY5Y neuroblastomas and in primary rat cortical neurons as well as several other mammalian cell lines. We also demonstrate that these N1(ICD)-positive sub-nuclear bodies are distinct from premyelocytic leukaemia (PML) and SC35 bodies. Furthermore, using Notch deletion constructs we determined that a region C-terminal of amino acid 2094 is involved in targeting the N1(ICD) into sub-nuclear bodies. These findings have ramifications for nuclear architecture and gene transcription.
