XENOPUS DISHEVELLED PDZ DOMAIN
Overview
Dapper was isolated in a screen for proteins interacting with Dishevelled, a key factor in Wnt signaling. Dapper and Dishevelled colocalize, intracellularly and form a complex with Axin, GSK-3, CKI, and, beta-catenin. Overexpression of Dapper increases Axin and GSK-3 in this, complex, resulting in decreased soluble beta-catenin and decreased, activation of beta-catenin-responsive genes. Dapper also inhibits, activation by Dishevelled of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), a component of, beta-catenin-independent Frizzled signaling. Inhibition of Dapper, activates both beta-catenin-responsive genes and an AP1-responsive, promoter, demonstrating that Dapper is a general Dishevelled antagonist., Depletion of maternal Dapper RNA from Xenopus embryos results in loss of, notochord and head structures, demonstrating that Dapper is required for, normal vertebrate development.
