title: Casein kinase 1: a Wnt'er of disconnect.
abstract: Phosphorylation of beta-catenin, a central downstream component of the Wnt pathway, by glycogen synthase kinase 3 is essential for its targeted degradation by the proteosome. New studies show that casein kinase 1 primes beta-catenin for subsequent phophorylation by glycogen synthase kinase 3.
