This repression can be relieved by binding of Kaiso to p120-catenin. This work thereby proposes a putative parallel pathway of Wnt-β-catenin signaling and of p120-catenin-Kaiso that may be involved in development and tumorigenesis.

Moreover, BCL9-2 was shown to be required for EMT, for cellular transformation and for the nuclear localization of β-catenin. These data point to a possible role of BCL9-2 in tumorigenesis.

Fer is shown to phosphorylate PTP1B and thereby enable binding of PTP1B to the cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin. PTP1B is proposed to then maintain β-catenin in a dephosphorylated state.

They characterize the Legless binding domain in Armadillo and show that it is separable from the LEF/TCF proteins, APC and E-cadherin binding sites.

Pygopus and Legless synergize to increase the transcriptional activity of β-catenin. Furthermore, the authors show that a fusion of Armadillo with a nuclear localization sequence is able to rescue Pygopus and Legless mutant fly embryos.

103. C.J. Gottardi, and B.M. Gumbiner Distinct molecular forms of β-catenin are targeted to adhesive or transcriptional complexes J Cell Biol 167 2004 339 349 Gottardi and Gumbiner propose a model by which distinct molecular forms of β-catenin act either in adhesion or in Wnt signaling. Wnt signaling promotes the formation of a monomeric form of β-catenin that preferentially binds to LEF/TCF proteins but not to the cadherins. A distinct molecular form of β-catenin, consisting of β-catenin-α-catenin dimers, preferentially binds to cadherins.
