  ABSTRACT  
 
The tumor suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) plays a critical role in the turnover of cytosolic beta-catenin, the key effector of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. APC contains seven 20 amino acid (20 aa) beta-catenin binding repeats that are required for beta-catenin turnover. We have determined the crystal structure of beta-catenin in complex with a phosphorylated APC fragment containing two 20 aa repeats. Surprisingly, one single phosphorylated 20 aa repeat, together with its flanking regions, covers the entire structural groove of beta-catenin and may thus compete for beta-catenin binding with all other beta-catenin armadillo repeat partners. Our biochemical studies show that phosphorylation of the APC 20 aa repeats increases the affinity of the repeats for beta-catenin by 300- to 500-fold and the phosphorylated 20 aa repeats prevent beta-catenin binding to Tcf. Our work suggests that the phosphorylation of the APC 20 aa repeats could be a critical switch for APC function.

Figure 2. Interactions between the Extended Region of Phospho-APC and β-Catenin(A) Electrostatic surface of β-catenin (armadillo repeats 10-12) bound to the α-helix of APC-2,3 (shown in stick form) N-terminal to the extended region. The surface of β-catenin is colored according to its relative electrostatic potential with blue representing positively charged residues and red representing negatively charged residues. β-catenin and APC amino acids are labeled in yellow and red, respectively.(B) Electrostatic surface of β-catenin (armadillo repeats 5-9) bound to the extended region of phospho-APC.(C) Critical contacts in the interface between the phospho-APC extended region and the β-catenin groove of armadillo repeats 5-9. APC is shown in a red ball-and-stick representation with red labels, and β-catenin (with helices colored as in Figure 1B) side chains are yellow with black labels. Phosphorylated Thr1487 of APC is labeled in italics. The hydrogen bonding and charge-charge interactions are designated with pink lines. Water molecules in the interface are shown as blue balls. For clarity, hydrogen bonds bridged by water molecules between APC and β-catenin residues, R474, R386, D390, and K354, are not shown.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
