"In addition, Aurora-A overexpression is significantly correlated with increased cytoplasmic β-catenin expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues.|We also demonstrate for the first time that Aurora-A directly interacts with β-catenin and phosphorylates β-catenin at Ser552 and Ser675."
"In the present study, we have shown that (i) beta-catenin can be phosphorylated by protein kinase a (pka) in vitro and in intact cells at two novel sites, ser-552 and ser-675;(ii) phosphorylation by pka promotes the transcriptional activity (tcf/lef transactivation) of beta-catenin"
