Notch signaling, O-glycosylation, O-glucose, and temperature-sensitive Abstract Notch signaling regulates numerous cell fate deci-sions during development. In a genetic screen designed to isolate new components of this pathway, mutations in a novel gene, rumi , were identiˆed to cause a temperature-sensitive phenotype. At 28–30 9 C, rumi clones exhibited a full-blown Notch phenotype in all the examined tissues. However, at 18 9 C, only a mild Notch phenotype was evident. Notch accumulated intracellularly and in the cell membrane of rumi cells, but was not properly processed despite normal binding to Delta. Rumi is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-retained protein with a highly conserved CAP10 domain. Our studies showed that Rumi is a protein O -glucosyltransferase (Poglut), capable of adding glucose in an O -linkage to serine residues in the consensus C 1 -X-S-X-P-C 2 sequence within the EGF repeats of the Notch extracellular domain. These data indicate that Rumi regulates Notch folding and/or tra‹cking and allows signaling at the cell membrane by O -glucosylation of Notch in the ER. Here, we, in collaboration with Dr. Hugo Bellen's laboratory, describe our method of discovery of Rumi (1). We also highlight the functional importance
