    basic FUNCTION
  • activated in WNT signal transduction
  • may play a role in the signal transduction pathway mediated by multiple WNT genes
  • DVL2 and beta-catenin are crucially important substrates for tyrosine phosphorylation in the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway
  • DVL1, DVL2, DVL3 are core components in the correct routing and transmission of canonical and non-canonical Wnt signals, most likely by acting in large multiprotein complexes
  • involved in the activation of a spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) kinase, RPS27, and the recruitment of other SAC components, BUB1 and BUBR1, to the kinetochores
  • involved in mitotic progression by regulating the dynamics of MT plus-ends and the SAC in PLK1-dependent and -independent manners
  • may be required for spindle orientation but not for bipolar spindle formation
  • regulator for faithful mitotic progression
  • DVL2 has potentially an inhibitory role in myogenesis and STAU1 coordinates myogenesis through the regulation of DVL2 mRNA
  • SESTD1, DVL2 and DACT1 co-regulate the Wnt/Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) pathway during mammalian development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell organization/biogenesis

    protein
  • links at least one Frizzled family member (FZD4) to clathrin-mediated endocytosis
  • SRC binds DVL2, a key phosphoprotein in Wnt signaling, at two positions: an SH3-binding domain and a C-terminal domain
  • GABARAPL1 is a tumor repressor inhibiting WNT signaling via mediating DVL2 degradation through the autophagy pathway
  • STAU1 binds to 3prime untranslated region (UTR) of DVL2 mRNA, and after induction of myogenic differentiation, this association was decreased
  • DACT3 promoted DVL2 degradation
  • DVL2 no longer bound to NXN is now positioned to prime the Wnt pathway(s) required for primitive endoderm (PrE) formation
  • IRS1/2 promotes EMT and cell proliferation through stabilizing DVL2
  • role of APPL1 as a positive regulator of DVL2-dependent transcriptional activity of JUN
