Whole Genome Level Analysis of the Wnt and DIX Gene Families in Mice and Their Coordination Relationship in Regulating Cardiac Hypertrophy

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The Wnt signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway that plays essential roles in embryonic development, organogenesis, and many other biological activities.

Wnt Signaling Translocates Lys48-Linked Polyubiquitinated Proteins to the Lysosomal Pathway

Cell Reports, 2015
Cellular proteins are degraded in either proteasomes or lysosomes depending on the types of ubiquitin chains that covalently modify them. It is not known whether the choice between these two pathways is physiologically regulated.

Wnt signalling pathway parameters for mammalian cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Wnt/β-catenin signalling regulates cell fate, survival, proliferation and differentiation at many stages of mammalian development and pathology. Mutations of two key proteins in the pathway, APC and β-catenin, have been implicated in a range of cancers ...

Canonical Wnt signaling induces focal adhesion and Integrin beta-1 endocytosis

iScience, 2022
Summary: During canonical Wnt signaling, the Wnt receptor complex is sequestered together with glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and Axin inside late endosomes, known as multivesicular bodies (MVBs).

Monounsaturated Fatty Acid Modification of Wnt Protein: Its Role in Wnt Secretion [PDF]

Developmental Cell, 2006
The secretion and extracellular transport of Wnt protein are thought to be well-regulated processes. Wnt is known to be acylated with palmitic acid at a conserved cysteine residue (Cys77 in murine Wnt-3a), and this residue appears to be required for the control of extracellular transport. Here, we show that murine Wnt-3a is also acylated at a conserved

Xenopus frizzled-4S, a splicing variant of Xfz4 is a context-dependent activator and inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2005
Background Secreted Frizzled related proteins (SFRPs) are extracellular regulators of Wnt signaling. These proteins contain an N-terminal cysteine rich domain (CRD) highly similar to the CRDs of the Frizzled family of seven-transmembrane proteins that ...

Functional role of the Frizzled linker domain in the Wnt signaling pathway

Communications Biology, 2022
The linker domain of Frizzled receptors has a varying effect on the functional levels of canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling, with FZD chimeras influencing the binding of Wnt proteins and the recruitment of proteins regulating downstream signaling.

Mutations in the human naked cuticle homolog NKD1 found in colorectal cancer alter Wnt/Dvl/beta-catenin signaling.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundMutation of Wnt signal antagonists Apc or Axin activates beta-catenin signaling in many cancers including the majority of human colorectal adenocarcinomas.
