In the absence of Wnt,

TCF is associated with transcriptional repressor proteins Groucho (Gro) that inhibit gene transcription in nucleus

#XL - T Zoology

Formation of the Wnt/Fz/LRP complex at the cell

surface causes the adaptor protein Dishevelled, to bind to Fz and Axin to bind to LRP, resulting destabilization and inactivation of the destruction complex

Unphosphorylated β-catenin translocates to the nucleus.

#XL - T Zoology

β-catenin binds to TCF to displace the Gro repressor and recruits co-activator proteins Pygo, LGS, to activate target gene expression.

Active Wnt signaling leads to the secretion of Notum.

#XL - T Zoology

Notum, a hydrolase that associates with glypican and then cleaves off Wnt’s attached lipids in a process of deacylation or delipidation.
