The organization of signalling complexes represents the coalescence of cell biology and signal transduction. Recent work on Dishevelled (Dvl), a multifunctional component of the Wnt–Frizzled (Fz) signalling pathway, ascribes vesicle- and actin-binding properties to a single domain within the protein. This could represent a critical point for divergence of the Wnt signalling pathway.
