| Targets |
Jagged-1 (188-204) targets the Notch receptor. The peptide mimics the DSL (Delta-Serrate-Lag2) domain of the full-length Jagged-1 protein, binding to Notch and inducing its cleavage and activation. The activated Notch intracellular domain (NICD) translocates to the nucleus and regulates transcription of target genes such as Hes1 and Hey1. The peptide's activity is Notch-dependent.

| ln Vitro |
Jagged-1(188–204), which is substantially conserved between human Jagged-1 and Jagged-2, is a component of the DSL region [2].
In cell-free binding assays, the Jagged-1 peptide binds to purified Notch receptor extracellular domain with a dissociation constant (Kd) in the low micromolar range. Binding can be measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or ELISA. The peptide activates Notch in a receptor-specific manner; it does not bind to other Notch ligands such as Delta-like 1 (Dll1) with high affinity. |
| ln Vivo |
In cellular assays, Jagged-1 (188-204) (10-100 uM) activates Notch signaling in target cells such as HEK293 or C2C12 cells. Activation is measured by luciferase reporter assays using a Notch-responsive promoter (e.g., CBF1-luc). The peptide also upregulates Notch target genes (Hes1, Hey1) by qRT-PCR. The effect is blocked by gamma-secretase inhibitors (e.g., DAPT), confirming Notch-dependence.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Binding affinity to Notch receptor is determined by SPR: Recombinant Notch1-ECD (extracellular domain) is immobilized on a sensor chip. Jagged-1 peptide (0.1-100 uM) in running buffer is injected over the chip. Binding responses are recorded and analyzed using a 1:1 Langmuir model to calculate Kd. Alternatively, an ELISA is performed where Notch-ECD is coated on a plate, and biotinylated peptide is added, detected by streptavidin-HRP.
|
| Cell Assay |
HEK293 cells stably transfected with a Notch reporter (e.g., 4xCBF1-luciferase) are seeded in 96-well plates. Cells are treated with Jagged-1 peptide (10-100 uM) for 24-48 hours in serum-free medium or in the presence of a gamma-secretase inhibitor (DAPT, 1 uM) as a control. Luciferase activity is measured using a bioluminescence reader. The peptide's EC50 is calculated. Parallel samples are used for qRT-PCR analysis of Hes1/Hey1 expression.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Jagged-1 (188-204) peptide can be administered intravenously or intraperitoneally in mouse models (e.g., 10-30 mg/kg, daily for 5-14 days) to activate Notch signaling in vivo. Tissues (e.g., liver, intestine, tumor) are harvested for analysis of Notch target gene expression and histology. The peptide has been shown to promote Notch-dependent phenotypes such as increased intestinal goblet cell differentiation or tumor growth modulation depending on context.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a peptide, Jagged-1 (188-204) TFA has a molecular weight of ~2100 Da. It is soluble in water or PBS. The half-life in plasma is short (minutes to 1 hour) due to proteolytic degradation. The TFA salt form enhances solubility and stability. For in vivo studies, the peptide may be injected multiple times daily or delivered via continuous infusion (osmotic pump). PEGylation or conjugation can extend half-life.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Jagged-1 (188-204) TFA is generally well-tolerated at research doses in mice (≤30 mg/kg). No acute toxicity or body weight loss has been reported. Potential off-target effects may include excessive Notch activation leading to gastrointestinal toxicity (e.g., goblet cell metaplasia). Long-term safety studies have not been performed. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed. Not for human use.
