Abstract excerpt
Nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin plays an important role in the Wnt signaling pathway. In the nucleus, beta-catenin acts as a transcriptional co-activator for TCF/LEF family of transcription factors. It has been shown that lef-1 contains a typical basic type nuclear localization signal (NLS) and is transported into the nucleus by the conventional import pathway. In this study, we found that a mutant lef-1...
