XTcf-3 Transcription Factor Mediates β-Catenin-Induced Axis Formation in Xenopus Embryos

TL;DR: It is proposed that signaling by beta-catenin involves complex formation with XT cf-3, followed by nuclear translocation and activation of specific XTcf-3 target genes, which suppresses endogenous axis specification upon injection into the dorsal blastomeres of a 4-cell-stage embryo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Xenopus Wnt effector XTcf-3 interacts with Groucho-related transcriptional repressors

TL;DR: It is shown that Tcf factors physically interact with members of the Groucho family of transcriptional repressors, and secondary-axis formation induced by a dominant-positive Armadillo–Tcf fusion protein was inhibited by Xgrg-4 and enhanced by XGrg-5.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression pattern of Wnt signaling components in the adult intestine.

TL;DR: A much broader role for Wnt signaling in gut development and homeostasis than was previously anticipated from available genetic studies is predicted and novel factors likely involved in promoting canonical and noncanonical Wnt signals in the intestine are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wnt Signaling Controls the Phosphorylation Status of β-Catenin

TL;DR: A monoclonal antibody is generated that recognizes an epitope containing two of the four residues of β-catenin when both are not phosphorylated, providing formal proof for the regulated phosphorylation of the Ser/Thr residues ofβ- catenin by Wnt signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two members of the Tcf family implicated in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling during embryogenesis in the mouse

TL;DR: A direct link between Wnt stimulation and β-catenin/Tcf transcriptional activation is demonstrated and imply a role formTcf-3 and -4 in early Wnt-driven developmental decisions in the mouse embryo.
