Sorting nexins provide diversity for retromer-dependent trafficking events

PJ Cullen, HC Korswagen - Nature cell biology, 2012 - nature.com
Sorting nexins are a large family of evolutionarily conserved phosphoinositide-binding
proteins that have fundamental roles in orchestrating cargo sorting through the membranous …

The making of Wnt: new insights into Wnt maturation, sorting and secretion

D Coudreuse, HC Korswagen - 2007 - journals.biologists.com
In this review, we look at the processes that occur ‘behind the scenes’ in Wnt signalling,
within the Wnt-producing cells. The Wnt community has long been focused upon events that …

Canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling pathways in Caenorhabditis elegans: variations on a common signaling theme

HC Korswagen - Bioessays, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Wnt glycoproteins are signaling molecules that control a wide range of developmental
processes in organisms ranging from the simple metazoan Hydra to vertebrates. Wnt signaling …

Functional interaction between ß-catenin and FOXO in oxidative stress signaling

MAG Essers, LMM de Vries-Smits, N Barker… - Science, 2005 - science.org
β-Catenin is a multifunctional protein that mediates Wnt signaling by binding to members of
the T cell factor (TCF) family of transcription factors. Here, we report an evolutionarily …

A SNX3-dependent retromer pathway mediates retrograde transport of the Wnt sorting receptor Wntless and is required for Wnt secretion

M Harterink, F Port, MJ Lorenowicz, IJ McGough… - Nature cell …, 2011 - nature.com
Wnt proteins are lipid-modified glycoproteins that play a central role in development, adult
tissue homeostasis and disease. Secretion of Wnt proteins is mediated by the Wnt-binding …

[PDF][PDF] The retromer coat complex coordinates endosomal sorting and dynein-mediated transport, with carrier recognition by the trans-Golgi network

T Wassmer, N Attar, M Harterink, JRT van Weering… - Developmental cell, 2009 - cell.com
Early endosome-to-trans-Golgi network (TGN) transport is organized by the retromer complex.
Consisting of cargo-selective and membrane-bound subcomplexes, retromer coordinates …

[PDF][PDF] Wnt signaling requires retromer-dependent recycling of MIG-14/Wntless in Wnt-producing cells

PT Yang, MJ Lorenowicz, M Silhankova… - Developmental cell, 2008 - cell.com
Wnt proteins are secreted signaling molecules that play a central role in development and
adult tissue homeostasis. We have previously shown that Wnt signaling requires retromer …

Wnt gradient formation requires retromer function in Wnt-producing cells

DYM Coudreuse, G Roël, MC Betist, O Destree… - Science, 2006 - science.org
Wnt proteins function as morphogens that can form long-range concentration gradients to
pattern developing tissues. Here, we show that the retromer, a multiprotein complex involved …

Distinct β-catenins mediate adhesion and signalling functions in C. elegans

HC Korswagen, MA Herman, HC Clevers - Nature, 2000 - nature.com
In flies and vertebrates, Armadillo/β-catenin forms a complex with Tcf/Lef-1 transcription
factors, serving as an essential co-activator to mediate Wnt signalling. It also associates with …

Participation of the Protein Go in Multiple Aspects of Behavior in C. elegans
