New “Hogs” in Hedgehog Transport and Signal Reception
A recent paper in Cell (Yao et al., 2006) and two papers in Developmental Cell (Tenzen et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2006) identify a new receptor component for Hedgehog, a key morphogen in embryonic development. Many other proteins that bind to Hedgehog in the extracellular matrix or on the cell surface have been identified. In light of these recent discoveries, we discuss how these factors cont...
متن کاملRequirement of Smurf-mediated endocytosis of Patched1 in sonic hedgehog signal reception
Cell surface reception of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) must ensure that the graded morphogenic signal is interpreted accordingly in neighboring cells to specify tissue patterns during development. Here, we report endocytic sorting signals for the receptor Patched1 (Ptch1), comprising two 'PPXY' motifs, that direct it to degradation in lysosomes. These signals are recognized by two HECT-domain ubiquitin...
متن کاملLipid Modifications of Sonic Hedgehog Ligand Dictate Cellular Reception and Signal Response
BACKGROUND Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling regulates cell growth during embryonic development, tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Concentration-dependent cellular responses to secreted Shh protein are essential for tissue patterning. Shh ligand is covalently modified by two lipid moieties, cholesterol and palmitate, and their hydrophobic properties are known to govern the cellular release and...
متن کاملSignals transmitted along retinal axons in Drosophila: Hedgehog signal reception and the cell circuitry of lamina cartridge assembly.
The arrival of retinal axons in the brain of Drosophila triggers the assembly of glial and neuronal precursors into a 'neurocrystalline' array of lamina synaptic 'cartridges'. Hedgehog, a secreted protein, is an inductive signal delivered by retinal axons for the initial steps of lamina differentiation. In the development of many tissues, Hedgehog acts in a signal relay cascade via the inductio...
متن کاملFrontiers in hedgehog signal transduction.
The hedgehog (Hh) pathway is a paracrine cell–cell communicaion system discovered in Drosophila over thirty years ago and then tudied for its central role in development in both vertebrates and nvertebrates. Hh was later implicated in other processes, includng adult stem cell maintenance, cell migration, axon guidance and ancer, in a wide range of organisms. Its identification as an oncoenic dr...
