Abstract excerpt
The signaling activity of beta-catenin is thought to be regulated by phosphorylation of a cluster of N-terminal serines, putative sites for GSK3beta. In the prevailing model in the literature, GSK3beta-dependent phosphorylation of these sites targets beta-catenin for ubiquitin-mediated degradation. Wnt signaling inhibits GSK3beta activity and this blocks degradation, allowing beta-catenin to accumulate and...
