ABSTRACT Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is a multifunctional tumour suppressor protein, central to development and the mature organism. It is mutated in most cases of colorectal cancer,


rendering it ineffective in mediating _β_-catenin degradation. We show that localization of full-length APC in colon carcinoma and noncancer cell lines is independent of cell density.


However, the location of truncated APC is a function of cell density and in high-density cells truncated APC is predominantly not nuclear. Although the distribution of truncated APC and


_β_-catenin is closely linked in subconfluent SW480 cells, at high cell density they are not colocalized. We postulated that in this cell line this could be due to an increase in _β_-catenin


bound to E-cadherin with formation of adherens junctions at high cell density. However, while in coimmunoprecipitation assays we observe an increase in binding between _β_-catenin and


E-cadherin and a corresponding decrease in binding between _β_-catenin and APC at high cell density, we did not observe a strict colocalization of _β_-catenin and E-cadherin at the membrane


of all cells. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe
