Wnt signaling: An embarrassment of receptors
Recent genetic studies in Drosophila and mouse have uncovered a new aspect of the Wnt signal transduction machinery. Mutations disrupting LDL-receptor related proteins produce loss-of-function Wnt phenotypes, suggesting that these cell surface molecules may represent essential co-receptors for Wnt ligands.
متن کاملInteraction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway
It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
متن کاملAn embarrassment of riches.
Riches I applaud the efforts of Holmes et al (Pediatrics 2014;133:766–768) to provide guidance to clinicians asked to write narrative evaluations of medical students. As the authors correctly point out, thoughtful comments “provide meaningful feedback to the student about performance, and formulate strong statements for the Medical Student Performance Evaluation,” or MSPE. I have 1 concern rela...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
متن کاملFrizzled and LRP5/6 receptors for Wnt/β-catenin signaling.
Frizzled and LRP5/6 are Wnt receptors that upon activation lead to stabilization of cytoplasmic β-catenin. In this study, we review the current knowledge of these two families of receptors, including their structures and interactions with Wnt proteins, and signaling mechanisms from receptor activation to the engagement of intracellular partners Dishevelled and Axin, and finally to the inhibitio...
