Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Activation of the Wnt pathway induces beta-catenin to localize inside the nucleus, where it interacts with transcription factors such as TCF/LEF-1. Regulation of the pathway occurs through a beta-catenin-degrading complex based on Axin and the tumor suppressor APC. We have previously found that beta-catenin import occurs independently of nuclear import factors but is similar to the import of the...
