Figure 4. Structure-guided hFzd5 mutant signaling assays.

Schematic presentation of the ternary complex formation, and hFzd5-mediated signaling upon stimulation by (a) Wnt3a and (b) surrogate Wnt agonist. Non-lipidated, water-soluble surrogate Wnt would form the complex in a different geometry from natural Wnt ligands. Each series was stimulated (a) by Wnt3a at the concentrations of 0, 1.6, 3.1, 6.3 or 12.5 nM, or (b) by surrogate Wnt at the concentrations of 0, 0.25, 1, 4 or 16 nM, displayed from left (no agonist) to right (the highest concentration) and indicated by black triangles. The bars and error bars represent means and standard deviations, respectively, of data points from three technical replicates shown as circles.
