Full-length, human wild-type β-catenin fused with N-terminal maltose-binding protein (MBP) in a pMALC2 vector (GenScript, NJ, USA) was used to transform competent E. coli (DH5α) … | Get A Quote |
Beta-catenin is well-known as a key effector of Wnt signalling and aberrant expression is associated with several human cancers. Stabilisation of and atypical subcellular localisation of beta-catenin, regulated in part through specific protein-protein interactions has been linked to cancer development, however the mechanisms behind these pathologies is yet to be fully elucidated. Affinity purification and mass spectrometry were used to identify potential β-catenin interacting proteins in SW480 colon cancer cells. Recombinant β-catenin constructs were used to co-isolate interacting proteins from stable isotope labelled cells followed by detection using mass spectrometry. Several known and new putative interact... More
