Recent studies have shown that colon carcinoma and melanoma cells that contain either deletions of APC or activating mutations in β-catenin contain elevated levels of both cytoplasmic and nuclear β-catenin. 1–4 Similar results were reported following proteasome inhibition of cells containing wild-type β-catenin. Furthermore, in cells containing mutated β-catenin or wild-type β-catenin but no APC, the β-catenin protein has an exceptionally long half-life. These findings led to the hypothesis that lack of APC function or β-catenin mutation result in elevated levels of nuclear βcatenin secondary to elevation of a soluble, proteasome-resistant cytosolic pool of the protein. However, β-catenin exists in several subcellular locations, and little is known of the effect of β-catenin mutations/APC deletions on the response of these pools to proteasome inhibition. To further examine this question, we studied three previously described melanoma cell lines, 3 1241, which expresses APC but carries a Ser37Æ Phe37 (S37F) β-catenin mutation in the GSK3ß phosphorylation site; 928, which expresses wild-type β-catenin but no detectable APC; and 1011, which contains both wild-type β-catenin and APC.In this study, the three melanoma cell lines were treated with the proteasome inhibitor ALLnL (100 µM) 5, 6 for 6 hours, and the β-catenin steady-state level in several subcellular fractions was compared with that of untreated cells. As predicted from previous studies, soluble β-catenin in 1011 cells was sensitive to proteasome inhibition, but the soluble β-catenin fraction of both 928 and 1241 cells was resistant to proteasome-mediated degradation. A novel finding of this study is that the detergent-insoluble β-catenin fraction from all three cell lines retained proteasome sensitivity. To clarify the nature of this detergent-insoluble fraction, we lysed cells in detergent-free buffer and prepared soluble, microsomal, and pellet fractions, which were analyzed for β-catenin content. As expected, the β-catenin steady-state level in 1011 cells was increased primarily in the soluble fraction after proteasome inhibition. In contrast, in 928 and 1241 cells, β-catenin protein markedly accumulated only
