Abstract

WNT signal transduction is essential for normal development and contributes to many human diseases. Agajanian et al. used a kinase gain-of-function screen to show that WNT activates the AAK1 kinase to promote clathrin-mediated endocytosis of the WNT receptor. This work identifies an AAK-driven negative feedback loop that downregulates WNT signaling.
