Kremen 1 and 2 have been identified as co-receptors for Dickkopf (Dkk) proteins, hallmark secreted antagonists of canonical Wnt signaling. We present here three crystal structures of the ectodomain of human Kremen1 (KRM1(ECD)) at resolutions between 1.9 and 3.2 angstrom. KRM1(ECD) emerges as a rigid molecule with tight interactions stabilizing a triangular arrangement of its Kringle, WSC, and CUB structural domains. The structures reveal an unpredicted homology of the WSC domain to hepatocyte growth factor. We further report the general architecture of the ternary complex formed by the Wnt co-receptor Lrp5/6, Dkk, and Krm, determined from a low-resolution complex crystal structure between beta-propeller/EGF repeats (PE) 3 and 4 of the Wnt co-receptor LRP6 (LRP6(PE3PE4)), the cysteine-rich domain 2 (CRD2) of DKK1, and KRM1(ECD). DKK1(CRD2) is sandwiched between LRP6(PE3) and KRM1(Kringle-WSC). Modeling studies supported by surface plasmon resonance suggest a direct interaction site between Krm1(CUB) and Lrp6(PE2).
