Functional Characterization of Multiple Transactivating Elements in beta -Catenin, Some of Which Interact with the TATA-binding Protein in Vitro

Andreas Hecht, Claudia M. Litterst, Otmar Huber, and Rolf Kemler

From Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology, Stuebeweg 51, D-79108 Freiburg, Germany

beta -Catenin, a member of the family of Armadillo repeat proteins, plays a dual role in cadherin-mediated cell adhesion and in signaling by Wnt growth factors. Upon Wnt stimulation beta -catenin undergoes nuclear translocation and serves as transcriptional coactivator of T cell factor DNA-binding proteins. Previously the transactivation potential of different portions of beta -catenin has been demonstrated, but the precise location of transactivating elements has not been established. Also, the mechanism of transactivation by beta -catenin and the molecular basis for functional differences between beta -catenin and the closely related proteins Armadillo and Plakoglobin are poorly understood. Here we have used a yeast system for the detailed characterization of the transactivation properties of beta -catenin. We show that its transactivation domains possess a modular structure, consist of multiple subelements that cover broad regions at its N and C termini, and extend considerably into the Armadillo repeat region. Compared with beta -catenin the N termini of Plakoglobin and Armadillo have different transactivation capacities that may explain their distinct signaling properties. Furthermore, transactivating elements of beta -catenin interact specifically and directly with the TATA-binding protein in vitro providing further evidence that a major function of beta -catenin during Wnt signaling is to recruit the basal transcription machinery to promoter regions of Wnt target genes.
