The Notch signaling pathway controls cell growth, differentiation, and fate decisions. Dysregulation of Notch signaling has been linked to various human diseases. Notch receptor resides in multiple cellular compartments, and its translocation plays a central role in pathway activation. However, the spatial regulation of Notch receptor functions remains largely elusive. Using TurboID-based proximity labeling followed by affinity purification and mass spectrometry, we establish a spatially defined human Notch receptor interaction network. Notch receptors interact with different proteins in distinct subcellular compartments to perform specific cellular functions. This spatially defined interaction network also reveals that a large fraction of NOTCH is stored at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment and recruits Ataxin-2-dependent recycling machinery for rapid recycling, Notch signaling activation, and leukemogenesis. Our work provides insights into dynamic Notch receptor complexes with exquisite spatial resolution, which will help in elucidating the detailed regulation of Notch receptors and highlight potential therapeutic targets for Notch-related pathogenesis.
