Abstract
The canonical Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathway is initiated by
inducing phosphorylation of one of the Wnt receptors, low-density
lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6), at threonine residue
1479 (Thr1479) and serine residue 1490 (Ser1490).
By screening a human kinase small interfering RNA library, we
identified phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type II and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate
5-kinase type I (PIP5KI) as required for Wnt3a-induced LRP6
phosphorylation at Ser1490 in mammalian cells and
confirmed that these kinases are important for Wnt signaling in
Xenopus embryos. Wnt3a stimulates the formation of
phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphates [PtdIns (4,5)P2]
through frizzled and dishevelled, the latter of which directly
interacted with and activated PIP5KI. In turn, PtdIns
(4,5)P2 regulated phosphorylation of LRP6 at
Thr1479 and Ser1490. Therefore, our study reveals a
signaling mechanism for Wnt to regulate LRP6 phosphorylation.
