摘要：

The tumor suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is frequently mutated in colorectal cancers. APC and Axin are core components of a destruction complex that scaffolds GSK3 beta and CK1 to earmark beta -catenin for proteosomal degradation. Disruption of APC results in pathologic stabilization of beta -catenin and oncogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism by which APC promotes beta -catenin degradation is unclear. Here, we find that the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of APC, which contains multiple beta -catenin and Axin interacting sites, undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in vitro. Expression of the APC IDR in colorectal cells promotes Axin puncta formation and beta -catenin degradation. Our results support the model that multivalent interactions between APC and Axin drives the beta -catenin destruction complex to form biomolecular condensates in cells, which concentrate key components to achieve high efficient degradation of beta -catenin.
