Hedgehog signalling: How cholesterol modulates the signal
Developing embryos are replete with a variety of potent signalling proteins, the activities of which must be precisely regulated for development to follow its proper course. In principle, such signals may take two distinct forms. Proteins tethered to the membrane of a signalling cell — for instance via a transmembrane domain or lipid modification — might be expected to act as short-range switch...
متن کاملHedgehog signalling
The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway is one of the key regulators of metazoan development. Hh proteins have been shown to play roles in many developmental processes and have become paradigms for classical morphogens. Dysfunction of the Hh pathway underlies a number of human developmental abnormalities and diseases, making it an important therapeutic target. Interest in Hh signalling thus extend...
متن کاملhedgehog signalling pathway: carcinogenesis and targeted therapy
hedgehog signalling pathway has not only a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation and tissue polarity at embryonic period but also has a vital role in stem cell proliferation, tissue healing and carcinogenesis. recent research has increased our understanding of this pathway and its relation to other signalling pathways. in addition, a large number of studies confirmed the alterati...

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 ...
متن کاملGli2, hedgehog and TCR signalling
A structurally and functionally diverse T-cell repertoire is essential for each of the key roles of the adaptive immune system: elimination of foreign pathogens, provision of immunological memory and the maintenance of tolerance to self. T-cells develop in the thymus and then migrate to the periphery where they undergo activation and functional differentiation following contact with cognate ant...
