BCL9 is an activator of oncogenic Wnt/β-catenin. Here, the authors show a β-catenin independent function of BCL9 in a subtype of colorectal cancers, where it interacts with paraspeckle proteins to enhance the mRNA stability of calcium signalling and neural associated genes to promote communication with tumour cells and its microenvironment.
