"These results indicate that the cul1/skp1/beta-trcp complex forms a ubiquitin ligase that mediates the degradation of beta-catenin."

"Here we show that fwd1 (the mouse homologue of slimb/betatrcp), an f-box/wd40-repeat protein, specifically formed a multi-molecular complex with beta-catenin, axin, gsk-3beta and apc. Mutations at the signal-induced phosphorylation site of beta-catenin inhibited its association with fwd1. Fwd1 facilitated ubiquitination and promoted degradation of beta-catenin, resulting in reduced cytoplasmic beta-catenin levels."
