The Roles of APC and Axin Derived from Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of the Wnt Pathway (2003)

Ethan Lee, Adrian Salic, Roland Krüger, Reinhart Heinrich, Marc W. Kirschner

Wnt signaling is important in both oncogenesis and development. Mathematical modeling predicts several unusual features of the Wnt pathway, some of which are tested experimentally.

Inhibition of Cdh1–APC by the MAD2-related protein MAD2L2: a novel mechanism for regulating Cdh1

Pfleger, Cathie M., Salic, Adrian, Lee, Ethan, Kirschner, Marc W.

Exit from mitosis requires the degradation of regulatory proteins including the mitotic cyclins and securin through ubiquitination by the anaphase promoting complex (APC) bound to Cdc20 or Cdh1....

Substrate recognition by the Cdc20 and Cdh1 components of the anaphase-promoting complex

Pfleger, Cathie M., Lee, Ethan, Kirschner, Marc W.

The specificity of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation with regards to the selection of substrates to be polyubiquitinated has only been determined rather recently. Substrate targeting by the...

Physiological regulation of β-catenin stability by Tcf3 and CK1ε

Lee, Ethan, Salic, Adrian, Kirschner, Marc W.

The wnt pathway regulates the steady state level of β-catenin, a transcriptional coactivator for the Tcf3/Lef1 family of DNA binding proteins. We demonstrate that Tcf3 can inhibit β-catenin...

Myeloid Translocation Gene Family Members Associate with T-Cell Factors (TCFs) and Influence TCF-Dependent Transcription▿

Moore, Amy C., Amann, Joseph M., Williams, Christopher S., Tahinci, Emilios, Farmer, Tiffany E., Martinez, J. Andres, ...

Canonical Wnt signaling is mediated by a molecular “switch” that regulates the transcriptional properties of the T-cell factor (TCF) family of DNA-binding proteins. Members of the myeloid...

LRP6 transduces a canonical Wnt signal independently of Axin degradation by inhibiting GSK3's phosphorylation of β-catenin

Cselenyi, Christopher S., Jernigan, Kristin K., Tahinci, Emilios, Thorne, Curtis A., Lee, Laura A., Lee, Ethan

Wnt/β-catenin signaling controls various cell fates in metazoan development and is misregulated in several cancers and developmental disorders. Binding of a Wnt ligand to its transmembrane...

asunder Is a Critical Regulator of Dynein–Dynactin Localization during Drosophila Spermatogenesis

Anderson, Michael A., Jodoin, Jeanne N., Lee, Ethan, Hales, Karen G., Hays, Thomas S., Lee, Laura A.

Spermatogenesis uses mitotic and meiotic cell cycles coordinated with growth and differentiation programs to generate functional sperm. Our analysis of a Drosophila mutant has revealed that asunder...
