Abstract
Wnt signaling plays important roles in both the tumor-induced angiogenesis and tumorigenesis through the transcriptionally active nuclear beta catenin. Recently, c-Cbl was identified as a unique E3 ubiquitin ligase targeting the active nuclear beta catenin. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms by which c-Cbl regulates ubiquitination and degradation of active beta catenin. Here we demonstrate that Wnt activation promotes the phosphorylation of c-Cbl at tyrosine 731(Y731), which increases c-Cbl dimerization and binding to beta catenin. Y731 phosphorylation and dimerization mediates c-Cbl nuclear translocation and leads to the degradation of nuclear active beta catenin in Wnt-on phase. c-Cbl activation also inhibits expression of the pro-angiogenic Wnt targets, IL-8 and VEGF. Phospho-Y731-inactive mutant c-Cbl (Y731F) enhances, whereas phosphomimetic mutant c-Cbl, (Y731E) suppresses angiogenesis in zebrafish. Taken together, we have identified a novel mechanism for the regulation of active nuclear beta catenin by c-Cbl and its critical role in angiogenesis. This mechanism can be further explored to modulate both the pathological angiogenesis and the tumorigenesis.
