Abstract excerpt
beta-Catenin transduces cytosolic signals to the nucleus in the Wnt pathway. The Wnt ligand stabilizes cytosolic beta-catenin protein, preventing its phosphorylation by inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3). Serine-33 and -37 of beta-catenin are GSK3 phosphorylation sites that serve as recognition sites for the beta-TRCP-ubiquitin ligase complex, which ultimately triggers beta-catenin degradation....
