β-Catenin gets an honorable discharge
In Focus • THE JOURNAL OF CELL BIOLOGY -Catenin gets an honorable discharge B eta-catenin binds E-cadherin to facilitate the formation of inter-cellular adhesions, but it's also a central component of the Wnt signaling pathway that controls cell proliferation and differentiation (1). Activation of the Wnt pathway stabilizes -catenin, enabling it to translocate into the nucleus and pair up wit...
متن کاملAnimal Development: An Ancient β-Catenin Switch?
High and low nuclear levels of the conserved transcriptional regulator β-catenin distinguish multiple sister cell fates to specify endoderm and mesoderm during early embryogenesis in a chordate embryo.

will break the barrier, making the TJ a frequent contributor to a vast range of pathologies of blood vessels and epithelial organs. Since most of these insults have pleotropic cellular effects, it is difficult to envision therapies that could target specific TJ components or functions. In contrast, some assaults on the barrier are quite specific. For example, house dust mites excrete a fecal pr...
متن کاملTGF-β gets primed for action
M yofibroblasts are highly con-tractile cells that repair damaged tissues by secreting and remod-eling the extracellular matrix (ECM) within a wound in order to draw it closed (1). When myofibroblasts are dysregulated, however, they continue to act on healed tissues and induce fi brosis. TGF-1 is a key signaling molecule within the ECM that promotes tissue fi brosis. Klingberg et al. reveal th...
متن کاملSnapShot: Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
Molecules labeled in green and blue play positive and negative roles in Wnt/β-catenin signaling, respectively. Molecules that are labeled in both colors have dual roles. (Top left) Wnt biogenesis. A lipid modification is added to Wnt ligands by Porc in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Wnt ligands are glycosylated in the ER and Golgi and require Wls (also known as Evi) to traffic through the Golg...
