Abstract

Beta-catenin is a bi-functional protein. It is not only a major component of the cellular adhesion machinery, but is also a transcription co-activator of the Wnt signaling pathway. The cytosolic levels of the beta-catenin protein, as well as its subcellular localization, are tightly regulated due to its oncogenic potentials. Two independent pathways are found to regulate beta-catenin. The canonical pathway is induced by the Axin/adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)/glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) complex which is dependent on GSK-3beta phosphorylation. The non-canonical pathway is mediated by p53-induced Siah-1 which is GSK-3beta phosphorylation-independent. Recently, several studies reported that IkappaB kinase alpha (IKKalpha) could stabilize beta-catenin and stimulate beta-catenin/T cell factor (Tcf)-dependent transcription. Here we report that IKKalpha could inhibit beta-catenin degradation mediated not only by the Axin/APC/GSK-3beta complex, but also by the Siah-1 pathway. Consistently, we found that IKKalpha abolished the inhibition of beta-catenin/Tcf-dependent transcription by Siah-1. Furthermore, we found that IKKalpha interacted with beta-catenin and inhibited beta-catenin ubiquitination. Taken together, our re...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
