The Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathway regulates embryonic development and tissue homeostasis throughout the animal kingdom. Signaling through this pathway crucially depends on the opposing activities of two cytoplasmic multiprotein complexes: the Ax...

Many c-type cytochromes (cyts) can form domain-swapped oligomers. The positively charged Hydrogenobacter thermophilus (HT) cytochrome (cyt) c552 forms domain-swapped oligomers during expression in the Escherichia coli (E. coli) expression system, ...
Dishevelled (Dvl) is a positive regulator of the canonical Wnt pathway that downregulates the phosphorylation of β-catenin and its subsequent degradation. Dvl contains an N-terminal DIX domain, which is involved in its homooligomerization and inte...

BACKGROUND: Head-to-tail polymerising domains generating heterogeneous aggregates are generally difficult to crystallise. DIX domains, exclusively found in the Wnt signalling pathway, are polymerising factors following this head-to-tail arrangemen...
The number of artificial protein supramolecules has been increasing; however, control of protein oligomer formation remains challenging. Cytochrome c′ from Allochromatium vinosum (AVCP) is a homodimeric protein in its native form, where its protom...
