Canonical Wnt signaling regulates Slug activity and links epithelial–mesenchymal transition with epigenetic Breast Cancer 1, Early Onset (BRCA1) repression
24 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Slug (Snail2) plays critical roles in regulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) programs operative during development and disease. However, the means by which Slug activity is controlled remain unclear. Herein we identify an unrecognized canonical Wnt/GSK3β/β-Trcp1 axis that controls Slug activity. In the absence of Wnt signaling, Slug is phosphorylated by GSK3β and subsequently undergoes...
