Abstract excerpt
Pygopus has been discovered as a fundamental Wnt signaling component in Drosophila. The mouse genome encodes two Pygopus homologs, Pygo1 and Pygo2. They serve as context-dependent β-catenin coactivators, with Pygo2 playing the more important role. All Pygo proteins share a highly conserved plant homology domain (PHD) that allows them to bind di- and trimethylated lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me2/3). Despite the...
