TLDR

Dvl2 phase separation plays a crucial role in assembly of the Wnt receptor signalosome and disruption of the β-catenin destruction complex.

Abstract

Kang et al. demonstrate that Dvl2 undergoes phase separation and displays a rapid accumulation to the plasma membrane upon Wnt stimulation. Dvl2 phase separation plays a crucial role in assembly of the Wnt receptor signalosome and disruption of the β-catenin destruction complex.
