Crystal structure of beta-catenin/ICAT helical domain/unphosphorylated APC R3

Contents

Overview

The transcriptional coactivator beta-catenin mediates Wnt growth factor, signaling. In the absence of a Wnt signal, casein kinase 1 (CK1) and, glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) phosphorylate cytosolic, beta-catenin, thereby flagging it for recognition and destruction by the, ubiquitin/proteosome machinery. Phosphorylation occurs in a multiprotein, complex that includes the kinases, beta-catenin, axin, and the Adenomatous, Polyposis Coli (APC) protein. The role of APC in this process is poorly, understood. CK1epsilon and GSK-3beta phosphorylate APC, which increases, its affinity for beta-catenin. Crystal structures of phosphorylated and, nonphosphorylated APC bound to beta-catenin reveal a, phosphorylation-dependent binding motif generated by mutual priming of CK1, and GSK-3beta substrate sequences. Axin is shown to act as a scaffold for, substrate phosphorylation by these kinases. Phosphorylated APC and axin, bind to the same surface of, and compete directly for, beta-catenin. The, structural and biochemical data suggest a novel model for how APC, functions in beta-catenin degradation.
