Dynamic trafficking of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) out of cilia is mediated by the BBSome. In concert with its membrane recruitment factor, the small GTPase ARL6/BBS3, the BBSome ferries GPCRs across the transition zone, a diffusion barrier at ...

E3 ubiquitin ligase Wwp1 regulates ciliary dynamics of the Hedgehog receptor Smoothened
At the basal state, the ciliary levels of Smo are kept low through the actions of a ciliary localized E2 ubiquitin–conjugating enzyme, Ube2l3, and an E3 ubiquitin ligase, Wwp1.

Inhibition of Hedgehog signaling by direct binding of cyclopamine to Smoothened.
The steroidal alkaloid cyclopamine has both teratogenic and antitumor activities arising from its ability to specifically block cellular responses to vertebrate Hedgehog signaling.

Smoothened agonist sterosome immobilized hybrid scaffold for bone regeneration
Hybrid scaffold with smoothened agonist sterosomes is engineered as a useful bone graft device for more efficacious bone healing. Biomaterial delivery of bioactive agents and manipulation of stem cell fate are an attractive approach to promote tissue ...

Smoothened signal transduction is promoted by G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2. [PDF]
Deregulation of the Sonic hedgehog pathway has been implicated in an increasing number of human cancers. In this pathway, the seven-transmembrane (7TM) signaling protein Smoothened regulates cellular proliferation and differentiation through activation ...

The membrane protein Smoothened is the signal-generating component of the Hedgehog pathway. How Smoothened transmits the signal to downstream effectors in the cytoplasm has been a long-standing mystery.

Distribution of Smoothened at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses.
The seven-transmembrane receptor Smoothened is essential for hedgehog signal transduction. In adulthood, the highest density of Smoothened mRNA is found in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus.
