Hedgehog Signaling: Iguana Debuts as a Nuclear Gatekeeper
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intracellular pathway that controls the cytoplasmic versus nuclear distribution of Gli transcriptional regulators in response to Hedgehog signaling remains poorly understood. Iguana appears to play a role in regulating this process independently of Hedgehog signaling.

The Zn finger protein Iguana impacts Hedgehog signaling by promoting ciliogenesis.
Hedgehog signaling is critical for metazoan development and requires cilia for pathway activity. The gene iguana was discovered in zebrafish as required for Hedgehog signaling, and encodes a novel Zn finger protein. Planarians are flatworms with robust regenerative capacities and utilize epidermal cilia for locomotion. RNA interference of Smed-iguana in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea caus...
متن کاملHedgehog Cholesterolysis: Specialized Gatekeeper to Oncogenic Signaling
Discussions of therapeutic suppression of hedgehog (Hh) signaling almost exclusively focus on receptor antagonism; however, hedgehog's biosynthesis represents a unique and potentially targetable aspect of this oncogenic signaling pathway. Here, we review a key biosynthetic step called cholesterolysis from the perspectives of structure/function and small molecule inhibition. Cholesterolysis, als...
متن کاملThe role of the desert hedgehog signaling pathway during degeneration and regeneration of peripheral nerves
The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh is mainly expressed in developmental nerves and Sonic hedgehog protein (dhh homologous) has therapeutic effects in neuronal survival, we attempted to investigate the possible ...

متن کاملHedgehog signaling via angiopoietin1 is required for developmental vascular stability
The molecular pathways by which newly formed, immature endothelial cell tubes remodel to form a mature network of vessels supported by perivascular mural cells are not well understood. The zebrafish iguana (igu) genetic mutant has a mutation in the daz-interacting protein 1 (dzip1), a member of the hedgehog signaling pathway. Loss of dzip1 results in decreased size of the cranial dorsal aortae,...
