Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of E-cadherin/Catenin Association by Tyrosine Phosphorylation

TL;DR: Transient transfections of different mutants demonstrated that Tyr-654 is phosphorylated in conditions in which adherens junctions are disrupted and evidenced that binding ofβ-catenin to E-cadherin in vivo is controlled by phosphorylation of β- catenin Tyr-652.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jagged1 is the pathological link between Wnt and Notch pathways in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Notch activation, accomplished by β-catenin-mediated up-regulation of Jagged1, is required for tumorigenesis in the intestine, and this mechanism is operating in human tumors from Familial Adenomatous Polyposis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

p120 Catenin-associated Fer and Fyn tyrosine kinases regulate β-catenin Tyr-142 phosphorylation and β-catenin-α-catenin interaction

TL;DR: Results indicate that p120 catenin acts as a docking protein facilitating the activation of Fer/Fyn tyrosine kinases by Yes and demonstrate the role of these p 120 caten in-associated kinases in the regulation of β-catenin-α-catanin interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of β-catenin structure and activity by tyrosine phosphorylation.

TL;DR: The results explain how phosphorylation of beta-catenin in Tyr-654 modifies the tertiary structure of this protein and the interaction with its different partners.
