Abstrakt: The Dishevelled (DVL) family of proteins form supramolecular protein and lipid complexes at the cytoplasmic interface of the plasma membrane to regulate tissue patterning, proliferation, cell polarity, and oncogenic processes through DVL-dependent signaling, such as Wnt/β-catenin. While DVL binding to cholesterol is required for its membrane association, the specific structural requirements and cellular impacts of DVL-sterol association are unclear. We report that intracellular sterols which accumulate within normal and pathological conditions cause aberrant DVL activity. In silico and molecular analyses suggested orientation of the β- and α-sterol face within the DVL-PDZ domain regulates DVL-sterol binding. Intracellular accumulation of naturally occurring sterols impaired DVL2 plasma membrane association, inducing DVL2 nuclear localization via Foxk2. Changes to intracellular sterols also selectively impaired DVL2 protein-protein interactions This work identifies sterol specificity as a regulator of DVL signaling, suggests intracellular sterols cause distinct impacts on DVL activity, and supports a role for intracellular sterol homeostasis in cell signaling.
