The adenomatous polyposis coli protein unambiguously localizes to microtubule plus-ends and is involved in establishing parallel arrays of microtubule bundles in highly polarised epithelial cells [PDF]
Loss of full-length adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein correlates with the development of colon cancers in familial and sporadic cases. In addition to its role in regulating ß-catenin levels in the Wnt signaling pathway, the APC protein is ...

Recurrent APC gene mutations in Polish FAP families [PDF]
The molecular diagnostics of genetically conditioned disorders is based on the identification of the mutations in the predisposing genes. Hereditary cancer disorders of the gastrointestinal tracts are caused by mutations of the tumour suppressor genes or the DNA repair genes. Occurrence of recurrent mutation allows improvement of molecular diagnostics.

lemmingA encodes the Apc11 subunit of the APC/C in Drosophila melanogaster that forms a ternary complex with the E2-C type ubiquitin conjugating enzyme, Vihar and Morula/Apc2 [PDF]
Background: Ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation is a critical step in key cell cycle events, such as metaphase-anaphase transition and mitotic exit.

Mutations of the APC Gene in Human Sporadic Colorectal Cancers [PDF]
Mutations of the APC gene are reported to occur frequently in sporadic colorectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas. We studied APC gene mutations in cases of human sporadic colorectal cancer in order to evaluate their correlation with pathologic characteristics and clinical prognosis.Most of the mutations of the APC gene (95%) are nonsense or frame shift ...

Kaiso-deficient mice show resistance to intestinal cancer [PDF]
Kaiso is a BTB domain protein that associates with the signaling molecule p120-catenin and binds to the methylated sequence mCGmCG or the nonmethylated sequence CTGCNA to modulate transcription.

A targeted constitutive mutation in the APC tumor suppressor gene underlies mammary but not intestinal tumorigenesis. [PDF]
Germline mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene are responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominant hereditary predisposition to the development of multiple colorectal adenomas and of a broad spectrum of extra ...
