Canonical Wnt signalling requires caveolin-dependent internalization of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6). Here we report that the tumour suppressor and endocytic adaptor disabled-2 (Dab2), previously described as an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signalling, selectively recruits LRP6 to the clathrin-dependent endocytic route, thereby sequestering it from caveolin-mediated endocytosis. Wnt stimulation induces the casein kinase 2 (CK2)-dependent phosphorylation of LRP6 at S1579, promoting its binding to Dab2 and internalization with clathrin. LRP6 receptor mutant (S1579A), deficient in CK2-mediated phosphorylation and Dab2 binding, fails to associate with clathrin, and thus escapes the inhibitory effects of Dab2 on Wnt/β-catenin signalling. Our data suggest that the S1579 site of LRP6 is a negative regulatory point during LRP6-mediated dorsoventral patterning in zebrafish and in allograft mouse tumour models. We conclude that the tumour suppressor functions of Dab2 involve modulation of canonical Wnt signalling by regulating the endocytic fate of the LRP6 receptor.
经典 Wnt 信号通路需要窖蛋白依赖性低密度脂蛋白受体相关蛋白 6(LRP6)内化。在这里,我们报告肿瘤抑制因子和内吞衔接蛋白Disabled-2(Dab2),先前被描述为 Wnt/β-catenin 信号通路的抑制剂,选择性地将 LRP6 招募到网格蛋白依赖性内吞途径,从而将其与窖蛋白介导的内吞作用隔离开来。Wnt 刺激诱导 LRP6 在 S1579 处发生依赖于酪蛋白激酶 2(CK2)的磷酸化,促进其与 Dab2 结合,并与网格蛋白一起内化。LRP6 受体突变体(S1579A),缺乏 CK2 介导的磷酸化和 Dab2 结合,无法与网格蛋白结合,因此逃避了 Dab2 对 Wnt/β-catenin 信号通路的抑制作用。我们的数据表明,LRP6 的 S1579 位点是斑马鱼和同种异体移植小鼠肿瘤模型中 LRP6 介导的背腹模式形成过程中 LRP6 介导的负调控点。我们得出结论,Dab2 的肿瘤抑制功能涉及通过调节 LRP6 受体的内吞命运来调节经典 Wnt 信号通路。
