"Our data demonstrate that CD148 promotes E-cadherin cell adhesion by regulating Rac1 activity, concomitant with modulation of p120, β-catenin, and Src tyrosine phosphorylation, and that this effect requires E-cadherin and p120 association.|Taken together, it is likely that CD148 dephosphorylation of β-catenin enhances the cadherin cell adhesion independent of Rho family GTPases."
"In the absence of the wt apc protein, phosphorylated beta-catenin is rapidly dephosphorylated by serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2a (pp2a). phosphorylated beta-catenin associated with the wild-type apc protein is recruited to the scf(beta-trcp) complex, ubiquitin conjugated, and degraded."
"PTP1B modulates the association of beta-catenin with N-cadherin through binding to an adjacent and partially overlapping target site.|The nonreceptor tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B associates with the cytoplasmic domain of N-cadherin and may regulate cadherin function through dephosphorylation of beta-catenin.|Thus, interaction of PTP1B with N-cadherin is essential for its association with beta-catenin, stable expression at the cell surface, and consequently, cadherin function."
