"As shown in Fig. 1 B, PKCalpha readily phosphorylated Ser33 and Ser37 / Thr41 on full-length beta-catenin (beta-catenin 1 - 781) and CTD deletion mutant (beta-catenin 1-682).|To examine the effect of the armadillo repeats 1-5 on PKCalpha mediated beta-catenin degradation, DNA constructs expressing beta-catenin 1 - 781 and beta-catenin deletion mutants (beta-catenin 1-422 and beta-catenin 1-138) were transfected into HEK293 cells, followed by treatment with increasing concentrations of A23187 and CGK062, which are known activators of PKCalpha."
"Wnt regulation of beta-catenin degradation is essential for development and carcinogenesis. beta-catenin degradation is initiated upon amino-terminal serine/threonine phosphorylation, which is believed to be performed by glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) in complex with tumor suppressor proteins Axin and adnomatous polyposis coli (APC)."
