Figure 1. β-Catenin-dependent Wnt signalling.
Panels show unstimulated (A), Wnt-stimulated induction of β-catenin/TCF target gene expression (B), and commonly reported mechanisms of feedback inhibition (C). Wnt/β-catenin signalling is inhibited by induction of (1) Dkk1 which sequesters LRP5/6 co-receptors; (2) sFRPs which sequester Wnt ligands; (3) Dapper1 (Dact1) which binds dishevelled proteins; and (4) selective components of the ubiquitin-degradation machinery such as β-TrCP.
