Presenilin Deficiency or Lysosomal Inhibition Enhances Wnt Signaling through Relocalization of GSK3 to the Late-Endosomal Compartment

Sustained canonical Wnt signaling requires the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) activity by sequestration of GSK3 inside multivesicular endosomes (MVEs). Here, we show that Wnt signaling is increased by the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine, which causes accumulation of MVEs. A similar...
