RUNX3 binds to complexes of beta-catenin (CTNNB1) and TCF/LEF family members. Binding of RUNX3 to CTNNB1:TCF/LEF complexes prevents their loading onto cyclin D1 (CCND1) and MYC gene promoters and interferes with WNT signaling-mediated activation of CCND1 and MYC1 transcription. RUNX3 therefore inhibits WNT-induced cellular proliferation (Ito et al. 2008).
