Abstract excerpt
The Frizzled (Fz) receptors contain seven transmembrane helices and an amino-terminal cysteine-rich domain (CRD) that is sufficient and necessary for binding of the ligands, the Wnts. Recent genetic experiments have suggested, however, that the CRD is dispensable for signaling. We engineered fz CRD mutant transgenes and tested them for Wg signaling activity. None of the mutants was functional in cell culture or...
