Crystal Structure of a Human Tcf-4 / beta-Catenin Complex
Contents |
Overview
The multifunctional protein beta-catenin is important for cell adhesion, because it binds cadherins, and the Wnt signal transduction pathway, where, it interacts with the Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein and TCF/Lef, family transcription factors. Mutations in APC or in beta-catenin are, estimated to trigger formation of over 90% of all colon cancers. In, colonic epithelia, these mutations produce elevated levels of, Tcf4-beta-catenin, which stimulates a transcriptional response that, initiates polyp formation and eventually malignant growth. Thus, disruption of the Tcf4-beta-catenin interaction may be an attractive goal, for therapeutic intervention. Here we describe the crystal structure of a, human Tcf4-beta-catenin complex and compare it with recent structures of, beta-catenin in complex with Xenopus Tcf3 (XTcf3) and mammalian, E-cadherin. The structure reveals anticipated similarities with the, closely related XTcf3 complex but unexpectedly lacks one component, observed in the XTcf3 structure.
