Background: Dkk-1

Dickkopf related protein 1 (Dkk-1) is the founding member of the Dickkopf family of proteins that includes Dkk-1, -2, -3, -4, and a related protein, Soggy (1, 2). Mature mouse Dkk-1 is a 40 kDa secreted glycoprotein that consists of two conserved cysteine-rich domains (CRDs), CRD1 (N-terminal) and CRD2 (C-terminal), separated by a linker region (1, 3). Within the C-terminal fragment [amino acid (aa) 145 - 272] that includes the CRD2, mouse Dkk-1 shares 94% and 86% aa sequence identity with rat and human Dkk-1, respectively.  Dkk-1 antagonizes Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, an activity for which the C-terminal CRD2 is both necessary and sufficient (4, 5), and the C-terminal fragment has been shown to interact with LRP5 or LRP6 (6). However, crystallographic studies have shown that Dkk-1 interacts with LRP-6 as a bipartite inhibitor, with both CRDs binding the extracellular domain of LRP-6 simultaneously (4, 7-9). Mechanistically, Dkk-1 has been shown to promote the internalization and degradation of LRP-6, but mouse Dkk-1 may inhibit LRP-6 independently of this process (10, 11). Mice lacking Dkk-1 die at birth, lack anterior head structures, and have limb malformations (12). Accordingly, bone mass in mice has been found to be inversely proportional to Dkk-1 levels (13). Reduced Dkk-1 expression causes head, limb, and vertebrae defects in mice (14). Conversely, transgenic mice that overexpress Dkk-1 develop osteopenia (15). In addition to bone homeostasis, Dkk-1 expression may be required for neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells (16, 17). Dkk-1 also likely has a complex role in cancer, as it has been shown to act as a tumor suppressor and also to promote metastasis (18).
