(GSK-3

-catenin, Dvl, and protein phosphatase 2A and functions as a
scaffold protein in the Wnt signaling pathway. In the Axin complex,
GSK-3
efficiently phosphorylates
-catenin, which is then
ubiquitinated and degraded by proteasome. We isolated a novel protein
that binds to Axin and named it Axam (for Axin
associating molecule). Axam formed a complex
with Axin in intact cells and bound directly to Axin. Axam inhibited
the complex formation of Dvl with Axin and the activity of Dvl to
suppress GSK-3
-dependent phosphorylation of Axin.
Furthermore, Axam induced the degradation of
-catenin in SW480 cells
and inhibited Wnt-dependent axis duplication in
Xenopus embryos. These results suggest that Axam regulates
the Wnt signaling pathway negatively by inhibiting the binding of Dvl
to Axin.
