Predicted mechanism for RNF2 regulation of Wnt signaling through TCF7L1 ubiquitination. (a) Diagram of TCF7L1 deletion mutant used for the domain study. The image was generated using Adobe Illustrator software (version 27.3). (b) Western blot analysis was performed using control HeLa cells. A total of 6 μg of myc-TCF7L1 partial mutants and myc-RNF2 plasmids were introduced into cells, which were then lysed with RIPA buffer. (c) Proposed mechanism of the RNF2 regulation of Wnt signaling. RNF2 continuously degrades TCF7L1 through ubiquitination-mediated degradation to regulate TCF7L1 at low levels. TCF7L1 binding to a promoter region may avoid RNF2 ubiquitination. When Wnt is activated, TCF7L1 detaches from DNA and is exposed followed by the binding of ß-catenin and HIPK2 phosphorylation. Then, the TCF7L1 is degraded through RNF2-mediated ubiquitination. The image was generated using Adobe Illustrator software (version 27.3).
