The GC-rich Binding Factor 2/Leucine Rich Repeat in the Flightless 1 Interaction Protein 1 gene (GCF2/LRRFIP1) is predicted to be alternatively spliced in five different isoforms. Although important peptide sequence differences are expected to result from this alternative splicing, to date, only the gene transcription regulator properties of LRRFIP1-Iso5 were unveiled. Based on molecular, cellular and biochemical data, we show here that the five isoforms define two molecular entities with different expression profiles in human tissues, subcellular localizations, oligomerization properties and transcription enhancer properties of the canonical Wnt pathway. We demonstrated that LRRFIP1-Iso3, −4 and −5, which share over 80% sequence identity, are primarily located in the cell cytoplasm and form homo and hetero-multimers between each other. In contrast, LRRFIP1-Iso1 and −2 are primarily located in the cell nucleus in part thanks to their shared C-terminal domain. Furthermore, we showed that LRRFIP1-Iso1 is preferentially expressed in the myocardium and skeletal muscle. Using the in vitro Topflash reporter assay we revealed that among LRRFIP1 isoforms, LRRFIP1-Iso1 is the strongest enhancer of the β-catenin Wnt canonical transcription pathway thanks to a specific N-terminal domain harboring two critical tryptophan residues (W76, 82). In addition, we showed that the Wnt enhancer properties of LRRFIP1-Iso1 depend on its homo-dimerisation which is governed by its specific coiled coil domain. Together our study identified LRRFIP1-Iso1 as a critical regulator of the Wnt canonical pathway with a potential role in myocyte differentiation and myogenesis.
