Distinct structural mechanisms of LGR4 modulation by Norrin and RSPOs in Wnt/β-catenin signaling by Huarui Qiao, Fangzheng Hu, Yiang Wang, Lu Wang, Siyu Zhou, Shaojue Guo, Yiwen Xu, Jianfeng Xu, Qianqian Cui, Qilun Yang, H. Eric Xu, Jianwei Zhu, Yong Geng

“…Furthermore, we developed a high-affinity nanobody that blocks both Norrin and RSPO binding to LGR4, providing a potential tool for therapeutic intervention. These findings elucidate the structural basis of LGR4’s dual signaling roles and lay the groundwork for therapeutic strategies targeting Wnt-related diseases.…”
