Abstract

Chondrocyte fate determination and maintenance requires Sox9, an intrinsic transcription factor, but is inhibited by Wnt/beta-catenin signaling activated by extrinsic Wnt ligands. Here we explored the underlying molecular mechanism by which Sox9 antagonizes the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in chondrocyte differentiation. We found that Sox9 employed two distinct mechanisms to inhibit Wnt/beta-catenin signaling: the Sox9 N terminus is necessary and sufficient to promote beta-catenin degradation, whereas the C terminus is required to inhibit beta-catenin transcriptional activity without affecting its stability. Sox9 binds to beta-catenin and components of the beta-catenin "destruction complex," glycogen synthase kinase 3 and beta-transducin repeat containing protein, to promote their nuclear localization. Independent of its DNA binding ability, nuclear localization of Sox9 is both necessary and sufficient to enhance beta-catenin phosphorylation and its subsequent degradation. Thus, one mechanism whereby Sox9 regulates chondrogenesis is to promote efficient beta-catenin phosphorylation in the nucleus. This mechanism may be broadly employed by other intrinsic cell fate determining transcription factors to promptly turn off extrinsic inhibitory Wnt signaling mediated by beta-catenin.

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.
