Fig. 3. Wnt stimulation induces a colocalization of Daam1 and Profilin1.
(A) Epitope-tagged Daam1 (HA) or (B) endogenous Daam1 (red)
colocalizes with GFP-Profilin1 to structures resembling actin stress fibers
(arrow) in response to 3 hours Wnt3a but not control CM stimulation. Note in A
and B, magnifications of the boxed areas (white) are shown below each
respective panel. (C) Transfection of Profilin1 siRNA but not a control
GFP siRNA reduces the level of endogenous Profilin1 in NIH3T3 cells.
ß-catenin and Daam1 are used as loading controls. (D) Top-Flash
assay reveals Wnt3a CM and Dishevelled but not control CM or
DIX-Dishevelled induces reporter activation in NIH3T3 cells.
Transfection of control or Profilin1 siRNA does not interfere with reporter
activation by either Wnt stimulation or Dishevelled expression.
