The TOPFLASH Wnt reporter plasmid was obtained from Dr. Kenneth Kinzler.
Arrow, the fly homolog of the LRPs, which are thought to be Wnt co-receptors in mammalian cells, is an obvious candidate for such an interactive protein.
While the functions of Fz and Dsh remain to be clarified, it is possible that upon Wnt signaling, Fzs recruit Dsh to the membrane and Dsh brings Axin to the carboxyterminus of LRPs.
In considering these issues, it is of interest to note that in the early C. elegans embryo, Wnt signaling proceeds through a non-canonical pathway, through phosphorylation of the TCF homolog but not using the increase in β-catenin [ 33 ] . Cell divisions and polarization in the worm embryo occur on a time scale of minutes, and the different mechanism of Wnt signaling in that context may be more suitable than the inherently slower translation-dependent β-catenin increase.
