The tumor suppressor SCRIB is a negative modulator of the Wnt/-catenin signaling (part 2)

Epithelial tissues are highly organized structures that rely on cell polarity pathways driven by membrane receptors and scaffolding proteins. SCRIBBLE is a cytoplasmic scaffold present at cell-cell junctions in polarized cells that contains LRR and PDZ domains. The current interactome of SCRIB and LRRC1 consists of 67 and 30 protein interaction partners respectively with only 9 (10%) common partners (BioGRID, version 3.5). Our study identified a protein complex associated to SCRIB stabilized by the inhibition of the proteasome and further characterize SCRIB act as negative modulator of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling.
