An MST4‐pβ‐CateninThr40 Signaling Axis Controls Intestinal Stem Cell and Tumorigenesis
8 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Elevated Wnt/β‐catenin signaling has been commonly associated with tumorigenesis especially colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, an MST4‐pβ‐cateninThr40 signaling axis essential for intestinal stem cell (ISC) homeostasis and CRC development is uncovered. In response to Wnt3a stimulation, the kinase MST4 directly phosphorylates β‐catenin at Thr40 to block its Ser33 phosphorylation by GSK3β. Thus, MST4 mediates...
