β-catenin repositions over time

Cell Syst. 2023 Jul 19;14(7):549-550. doi: 10.1016/j.cels.2023.06.008.

Abstract

How β-catenin, the nuclear activator of the Wnt pathway, affects the chromatin environment of its targets is unknown. Over a time course of stimulation, β-catenin repositions itself around the genome in a cell-type-specific manner, eliciting transient chromatin changes in differentiated cells and progressive shaping of undifferentiated cells.
