Abstract

Genetic studies have identified Drosophila Naked Cuticle (Nkd) as an antagonist of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, but its mechanism of action remains obscure [Zeng, W., Wharton, K. A., Jr., Mack, J. A., Wang, K., Gadbaw, M., et al. (2000) Nature (London) 403, 789–795]. Here we have cloned a cDNA encoding a mammalian homolog of Drosophila Nkd, mNkd, and demonstrated that mNkd interacts directly with Dishevelled. Dishevelled is an intracellular mediator of both the canonical Wnt pathway and planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway. Activation of the c-Jun-N-terminal kinase has been implicated in the PCP pathway. We showed that mNkd acts in a cell-autonomous manner not only to inhibit the canonical Wnt pathway but also to stimulate c-Jun-N-terminal kinase activity. Expression of mNkd disrupted convergent extension in Xenopus , consistent with a role for mNkd in the PCP pathway. These data suggest that mNkd may act as a switch to direct Dishevelled activity toward the PCP pathway, and away from the canonical Wnt pathway.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
