Dishevelled 2 Recruits ß-Arrestin 2 to Mediate Wnt5A-Stimulated Endocytosis of Frizzled 4

Wei Chen,1 Derk ten Berge,2 Jeff Brown,2 Seungkirl Ahn,1 Liaoyuan A. Hu,1 William E. Miller,1* Marc G. Caron,3 Larry S. Barak,4 Roel Nusse,2{dagger} Robert J. Lefkowitz1{dagger}

Abstract: Wnt proteins, regulators of development in many organisms, bind to seven transmembrane–spanning (7TMS) receptors called frizzleds, thereby recruiting the cytoplasmic molecule dishevelled (Dvl) to the plasma membrane.Frizzled-mediated endocytosis of Wg (a Drosophila Wnt protein) and lysosomal degradation may regulate the formation of morphogen gradients. Endocytosis of Frizzled 4 (Fz4) in human embryonic kidney 293 cells was dependent on added Wnt5A protein and was accomplished by the multifunctional adaptor protein ß-arrestin 2 (ßarr2), which was recruited to Fz4 by binding to phosphorylated Dvl2. These findings provide a previously unrecognized mechanism for receptor recruitment of ß-arrestin and demonstrate that Dvl plays an important role in the endocytosis of frizzled, as well as in promoting signaling.
