Abstract excerpt
The β-catenin destruction complex (BDC) regulates WNT-β-catenin signaling and is a prime therapeutic target in colorectal cancer, yet its biochemical complexity has hindered mechanistic understanding. We mapped the sequence-function landscape of the BDC using tiled base editor screens across its components CTNNB1, AXIN1, APC and GSK3B. Amongst ~150 previously unreported mutations that affected WNT signaling, we...
