Abstract excerpt
We demonstrate that Dvl-1, casein kinase I epsilon (CKI epsilon), and Frat-1 activate the Wnt signaling pathway cooperatively. The amino acid region 228-250 of Dvl-1 was necessary for its binding to Frat-1, and the interaction of Dvl-1 with Frat-1 was enhanced by CKI epsilon. Coexpression of Dvl-1 and Frat-1 caused accumulation of beta-catenin synergistically in L cells. Both proteins also activated the...
