Abstract excerpt
Beta-catenin not only plays a role in cadherin-dependent cell adhesion, but also interacts with T-cell factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer factor-1 (LEF-1) to affect gene expression. In this report, we describe the effects of exogenous LEF-1 and of treatment with leptomycin B (LMB), a specific inhibitor of CRM1-medicated nuclear export, on the nuclear localization and export of beta-catenin. Normal epithelial cells...
