Inhibition of SIAH1 blocks Wnt-induced Axin ubiquitination and degradation. (A) Wnt3a induces ubiquitination of endogenous AXIN1 in a time-dependent manner. HEK293 cells were pretreated with MG132 to prevent Wnt-induced AXIN1 degradation. (B) Wnt3a decreases the interaction between AXIN1 and GSK3β. Cells were pretreated with MG132 to prevent Wnt-induced Axin degradation and then treated with Wnt3a for 4 h. (C,D) Depletion or knockout of SIAH1 inhibits Wnt3a-induced ubiquitination of AXIN1. (E,F) Depletion or knockout of SIAH1 attenuates Wnt3a-induced AXIN1 degradation and cytosolic β-catenin accumulation. (G) A schematic model of Wnt-induced degradation of Axin through SIAH.
