Wnt morphogens induce signaling via binding their extracellular receptors. Here, we discuss several recent structural studies showing how Wnts engage their receptors frizzled (FZD) and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5/6 (LRP5/6), how Cachd1 has been shown as an alternative initiator of Wnt signaling, and how lipidated Wnt may be produced and secreted from the cell.
Wnt形态发生素通过与其细胞外受体结合来诱导信号传导。在此,我们讨论了几项最近的结构研究,这些研究展示了Wnt如何与它们的受体卷曲蛋白(FZD)和低密度脂蛋白受体相关蛋白5/6(LRP5/6)结合,Cachd1如何被证明是Wnt信号传导的另一种启动因子,以及脂化的Wnt如何在细胞中产生和分泌。
