High impact information on GBP

Using a two-hybrid screen, we identified GBP, a maternal Xgsk-3-binding protein that is homologous to a T cell protooncogene in three well-conserved domains [1].
Finally, we provide evidence that CK1epsilon stimulates the binding of dishevelled (dsh) to GSk3 binding protein (GBP) in extracts [2].
We show that GBP also functions by preventing the GSK-3-mediated phosphorylation of a protein substrate without eliminating its catalytic activity [3].
We propose a model in which conventional kinesin transports a GBP-containing complex to the future dorsal side, where GBP dissociates and contributes to the local stabilization of beta-catenin by binding and inhibiting GSK3 [4].
Here, we show that the GSK3 inhibitory protein GBP/Frat binds kinesin light chain (KLC), a component of the microtubule motor kinesin [4].

Physical interactions of GBP

Recently, a GSK-3 (Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3) binding protein (GBP) was identified as a novel member of the Wnt pathway required for maternal dorsal axis formation in Xenopus [5].
