Here we show that mb1(-/-) embryos carry an amino-acid change at a conserved site in the Wnt pathway scaffolding protein, Axin1. The amino-acid substitution present in the mbl allele abolishes the binding of Axin to Gsk3 and affects Tcf-dependent transcription. Therefore, Gsk3 activity may be decreased in mbl(-/-) embryos and in support of this possibility, overexpression of either wild-type Axin1 or Gsk3 beta can restore eye and telencephalic fates to mb1(-/-) embryos. Our data reveal a crucial role for Axin1-dependent inhibition of the Wnt pathway in the early regional subdivision of the anterior neural plate into telencephalic, diencephalic, and eye-forming territories."}],"page":"1427 - 1434","publication_status":"published","month":"06","date_updated":"2023-05-10T12:27:02Z","publisher":"Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press","day":"01","volume":15,"oa_version":"Published Version","intvolume":" 15","acknowledgement":"We thank many colleagues who provided reagents that enabled us to test axin1 and several other genes as candidates for the mbl mutation.
