The TCF4/beta-catenin complex, the executor of canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, is regulated by a variety of factors. Among these, Dishevelled (Dvl) is a critical regulator that releases beta-catenin from degradation and stabilizes TCF4/beta-catenin complex. Here, we report that DDIP (Dishevelled-DEP domain Interacting Protein, also named as Spats1, spermatogenesis associated, serine-rich 1), a novel protein that interacts with Dvl, regulates Wnt signaling. We provide evidence that DDIP suppresses Lef-1 luciferase reporter activity stimulated by Wnt1, Dvl2 or beta-catenin, interacts with the TCF4/beta-catenin complex, and disrupts the interaction of TCF4 and beta-catenin by promoting TCF4 degradation through the proteasome pathway. Our results indicate that DDIP is a negative regulator of the canonical Wnt signaling.
TCF4/β-连环蛋白复合物是经典 Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路的执行因子,受多种因素的调控。其中,Dvl(Dishevelled)是一种关键的调节剂,它可使β-连环蛋白从降解中释放出来并稳定 TCF4/β-连环蛋白复合物。在这里,我们报告了 DDIP(Dishevelled-DEP 结构域相互作用蛋白,也称为 Spats1,与精子发生相关的富含丝氨酸 1),一种与 Dvl 相互作用的新蛋白,可调节 Wnt 信号通路。我们提供的证据表明,DDIP 抑制 Wnt1、Dvl2 或 β-连环蛋白刺激的 Lef-1 荧光素酶报告基因活性,与 TCF4/β-连环蛋白复合物相互作用,并通过促进 TCF4 通过蛋白酶体途径降解来破坏 TCF4 和 β-连环蛋白的相互作用。我们的结果表明,DDIP 是经典 Wnt 信号的负调节剂。
