“…One suggestion is that the binding of Dishevelled to Frizzled recruits Dishevelled to the membrane where it activates the Wnt co-receptor Lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5/6 (LRP5/6) using the Dishevelled-binding protein CK1e (Dale, 2006). Alternatively, or in addition, it has been suggested that the Wnt-dependent translocation of Dishevelled to the membrane is involved in recruiting Axin to the membrane since Dishevelled binds Axin through its DIX domain (Kishida et al, 1999;Li et al, 1999) and thus Dishevelled could tether Axin to Frizzled, which together with LRP5/6, inactivate the destruction b-Catenin destruction complex D Kimelman and W Xu complex (Cliffe et al, 2003;Schweizer and Varmus, 2003;Cong et al, 2004b). However, Dishevelled lacking its PDZ domain can still activate the Wnt pathway in at least some overexpression experiments (note that not all experiments produce this conclusion, but this may be due to the fact that some authors delete only a minimal PDZ domain whereas other authors delete adjacent sequences that might be essential Axelrod et al, 1998;Rothbacher et al, 2000;Cong et al, 2004a).…”
