Smoothened Signal Transduction Is Promoted by G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2006
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 of the transcription factor Gli.

Hedgehog Signaling Regulates the Ciliary Transport of Odorant Receptors in Drosophila

Cell Reports, 2016
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is a key regulatory pathway during development and also has a functional role in mature neurons. Here, we show that Hh signaling regulates the odor response in adult Drosophila olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). We demonstrate that

Pathway selectivity in Frizzleds is achieved by conserved micro-switches defining pathway-determining, active conformations

Nature Communications, 2023
The class Frizzled of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), consisting of ten Frizzled (FZD1-10) paralogs and Smoothened, remains one of the most enigmatic GPCR families.

Selective targeting of HDAC1/2 elicits anticancer effects through Gli1 acetylation in preclinical models of SHH Medulloblastoma. [PDF]

, 2017
SHH Medulloblastoma (SHH-MB) is a pediatric brain tumor characterized by an inappropriate activation of the developmental Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. SHH-MB patients treated with the FDA-approved vismodegib, an Hh inhibitor that targets the transmembrane ...

Synergistic inhibition of the Hedgehog pathway by newly designed Smo and Gli antagonists bearing the isoflavone scaffold [PDF]

, 2018
Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is responsible for the onset and progression of several malignancies. Small molecules able to block the pathway at the upstream receptor Smoothened (Smo) or the downstream effector Gli1 have thus emerged ...

PI(4)P Promotes Phosphorylation and Conformational Change of Smoothened through Interaction with Its C-terminal Tail. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2016
In Hedgehog (Hh) signaling, binding of Hh to the Patched-Interference Hh (Ptc-Ihog) receptor complex relieves Ptc inhibition on Smoothened (Smo). A longstanding question is how Ptc inhibits Smo and how such inhibition is relieved by Hh stimulation.

Regulation of Cholesterol Binding to the Receptor Patched1 by its interactions With the Ligand Sonic Hedgehog (Shh)

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is essential in cell development and regeneration, which is activated by the ligand Sonic hedgehog (Shh). The binding of Shh to its receptor Patched1 (PTCH1) releases the inhibitory effect on the downstream protein ...

Synthesis and Smo Activity of Some Novel Benzamide Derivatives

Molecules, 2017
Two series of benzamides compounds bearing piperidine groups were synthesized and the Gli-luc luciferase activity was screened by Gys-luc luciferase gene detection method. Compound 5q showed promising inhibition of hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway.
