Drosophila CBP represses the transcription factor TCF to antagonize wingless signalling
Article Abstract:
The high-mobility-group domain protein T-cell factor (TCF) is activated by Wnt/Wingless signalling, when it binds to its coactivator, beta-catenin/Armadillo. Inappropriate TCF activation in the colon epithelium results in cancer. Drosophila CREB-binding protein (dCBP) is reported to bind to dTCF. Data shows that dCBP acetylates in the Armadillo-biding domain of dTCF lowers the affinity of Armadillo binding to dTCF. CBP is shown to repress TCF.
