BCL6 and BCoR gang up on Notch to regulate left-right patterning.
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Sakano et al. describe a novel mechanism of how a key lymphocyte transcription factor crosstalks to Notch signaling during embryonic development and thereby selectively inhibits Notch-activated target genes to allow proper left-right patterning.
