in the absence of Wnt ligands, b-catenin is phosphorylated by CK1 and GSK-3 in the context of a destruction complex with APC and Axin.
Phosphorylated b-catenin is consequently targeted for ubiquitination and degraded.
Upon ligand binding (right panel), DVL1 (dishevelled) recruits the Axin-GSK-3 complex, resulting in the sequential phosphorylation of LRP6 by CK1 and GSK-3.
Phoshorylated LRP6 serves as a docking site for additional Axin-GSK-3 complex, resulting in the disassembly of the destruction complex.
Non phosphorylated and thus stabilized b-catenin translocates to the nucleus where it activates transcription of target genes together with LEF/TCFs

Wnt transduces their signals through DVL1 to inhibit GSK3B, leading to the accumulation of cytosolic CTNNB1 and activation of TCF/LEF1 transcription factors.
DVL1 interacts with AXIN1 and with Frat1.
Binding of AXIN1 to DVL1 reduces formation of the destruction complex APC/AXIN1.

Recruitment of CTNNB1 via the degradation complex of APC/AXIN1 is regulated by a series of ordered phosphorylation events.
Phosphorylation of AXIN1 by CSNK1 (casein kinase 1) and GSK3B can increase axin binding to CTNNB1.

AXIN1 also promotes phosphorylation of APC by CSNK1 and GSK3B.
Phosphorylated APC has higher affinity to CTNNB1.

Finally, these phosphorylation events allo CTNNB1 to be a more efficient substrate of both CSNK1 (at S45) and the GSK3B (at T41, S33, S37).
The affinity of phosphorylated APC to CTNNB1 is higher than that of phosphorylated AXIN1.
Therefore upon phosphorylation, APC can displace AXIN1 from CTNNB1, allowing AXIN1 to bind another molecule of CTNNB1.
