Abstract excerpt
Inappropriate activation of downstream target genes by the oncoprotein beta-catenin is implicated in development of numerous human cancers. beta-catenin and its fruitfly counterpart Armadillo act as a coactivator in the canonical Wnt/Wingless pathway by binding to Tcf/Lef transcription factors. Here we report a conserved nuclear protein, named Chibby, which was identified in a screen for proteins that directly...
