abstract: |
The Wnt pathway plays a critical role in development and disease. The key player of
the pathway is b-cat. In the nucleus, the complex formation of b-cat and TCF initiates
target gene expression. Its activity is mainly regulated by retention and degradation
by its antagonists APC, Axin and GSK3. Based on experimental findings, I develop and
investigate compartmental models in order to analyse of the role of nucleo-cytoplasmic
shuttling of these proteins in Wnt signalling. I show that the compartmental separation
of b-cat and its antagonists yields an increase of the b-cat/TCF concentration.
