Two glycosyltransferases that transfer sugars to EGF domains, OFUT1 and Fringe, regulate Notch signaling. To characterize the impact of glycosylation at the 23 consensus O-fucose sites in Drosophila Notch, we conducted deletion mapping and site-specific mutagenesis, and then assayed the binding of soluble forms of Notch to cell-surface ligands. Our results support the conclusion that EGF domains 11 and 12 are essential for ligand binding, but indicate that other EGF domains also make substantial contributions to ligand binding. Characterization of Notch deletion constructs and O-fucose site mutants further reveals that no single site or region can account for the influence of Fringe on Notch-ligand binding. Additionally, an influence of Fringe can be observed on a Notch fragment that includes only four of its thirty-six EGF domains (EGF10-13). Together, our observations imply that glycosylation influences Notch-ligand interactions through a distributive mechanism that involves local interactions with multiple EGF domains, and lead us to suggest a structural model for how Notch interacts with its ligands.
