Nature Communications, 2021 Dispatched (Disp) RND transporter, activated by Furin-mediated proteolytic cleavage, mediates the release of the lipid-modified Hedgehog (Hh) ligands. Here, the authors report structures of human Disp1 (hDisp1) before and after cleavage, and in complex ...

Sonic hedgehog: making the gradient
Chemistry & Biology, 1996 The amino-terminal peptide of Sonic hedgehog is a cell-tethered molecule, which nevertheless seems to provide a developmental signal that acts at a distance and has different effects depending on its concentration. Recent structural data suggest that zinc-dependent proteolysis may somehow be involved in Sonic hedgehog's function.

Inhibitors of Hedgehog acyltransferase block Sonic Hedgehog signaling [PDF]
Nature Chemical Biology, 2013 Inhibition of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling is of great clinical interest. Here we exploit Hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat)-mediated Shh palmitoylation, a modification critical for Shh signaling, as a new target for Shh pathway inhibition. A target-oriented high-throughput screen was used to identify small-molecule inhibitors of Hhat.

Hedgehog signaling pathway as a potential target in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer
Tumor Biology, 2017 The sonic hedgehog signaling pathway is critical for cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and organ development during embryogenesis. Aberrant activation of the sonic hedgehog pathway has been associated with a variety of human cancers.

Dicer Is Required for Normal Cerebellar Development and to Restrain Medulloblastoma Formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Dicer, a ribonuclease III enzyme, is required for the maturation of microRNAs. To assess its role in cerebellar and medulloblastoma development, we genetically deleted Dicer in Nestin-positive neural progenitors and in mice lacking one copy for the Sonic

Sonic Hedgehog Signaling and VACTERL Association [PDF]
Molecular Syndromology, 2012 Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is vital for the patterning and organogenesis of almost every system. The specificity of these developmental processes is achieved through a tight spatio-temporal regulation of Hh signaling. Mice with defective Hh signal exhibit a wide spectrum of anomalies, including Vertebral defects, Anal atresia, Cardiovascular anomalies ...

TSPAN8 promotes cancer cell stemness via activation of sonic Hedgehog signaling
Nature Communications, 2019 Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a major source of treatment resistance and tumor progression. However, regulation of CSCs stemness is not entirely understood.

eLife, 2018 Parkinson’s disease-associated LRRK2 kinase phosphorylates multiple Rab GTPases, including Rab8A and Rab10. We show here that LRRK2 kinase interferes with primary cilia formation in cultured cells, human LRRK2 G2019S iPS cells and in the cortex of LRRK2 ...

Sonic Hedgehog, Apoptosis, and the Penis [PDF]
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2009 ABSTRACT Introduction Smooth muscle apoptosis in the penis is common in prostatectomy patients and animal models of erectile dysfunction (ED). A critical regulator of smooth muscle apoptosis in the penis is the secreted protein Sonic hedgehog (SHH).
