The BMP and Wnt signalling pathways determine axis specification during embryonic development. Our previous work has shown that PAWS1 (also known as FAM83G) interacts with SMAD1 and modulates BMP signalling. Here, surprisingly, we show that overexpression of PAWS1 in <i>Xenopus</i> embryos activates Wnt signalling and causes complete axis duplication. Consistent with these observations in <i>Xenopus</i>, Wnt signalling is diminished in U2OS osteosarcoma cells lacking PAWS1, while BMP signalling ...[more]
