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 کاملSignal transduction in hair cells and its regulation by calcium
Ca2+ plays a pivotal role in the regulation of hair cell function. From ,mechanoelectrical transduction at the cell's apex to the release of neurotransmitter at its base, Ca*+ acts continuously to either effect or affect diverse cellular processes. The ability of Ca'+ to perform its various local tasks rests simply on the steep gradients in the activity of Ca*+ that are encountered in the vicin...

ates Ptc from Smo (Figure 1B) is also generally enter-Daniel Kalderon* tained (Chen and Struhl, 1996) because it is countered Department of Biological Sciences only by a single observation of Ptc-mediated binding of Columbia University Hh to Smo in tissue culture cells that expressed high New York, New York 10027 levels of both vertebrate Ptc and Smo (Stone et al., 1996). Some new data support ...
