QUESTIONS 1 INTRODUCTION Hedgehog signaling pathway >Responsible for controled cell growth and differentiation in embryogenesis in metazoa regulating a wide range of patterning events in a local and long-range scale Left-right asymmetry Anterior-Posterior patterning Neural tube patterning Limb patterning >Homeostatic role in postembryonic tissues (maintenance of stem cell populations) Continuous Hh pathway activity plays a pathological role in the growth of cancers 1 INTRODUCTION Overview of the Hh signaling pathway > The signal transduction pathway regulate the production of either a transcriptional repressor (CiR) or a transcriptional activator (CiA), active and inactive forms of Ci, a zinc-finger transcription factor > Patched (Ptc) is a 12-transmembrane receptor which acts as an inhibitor for Smoothened (Smo) another transmembrane protein which acts as a signal transducer 1 INTRODUCTION > Downstream of Smo is a multi-protein complex known as the Hedgehog signaling complex (HSC) > Ptc represses Smo, preventing the activation of Hedgehog signalling via proteolytic cleavage of Ci. Cleavage results in a repressor form of Ci, which enters the nucleus and inhibits Hedgehog target gene expression. > The binding of Hedgehog protein to Ptc inactivates it, prevents the inhibition of Smo and induces signal transduction leading to the full length form of Ci (CiA) > The release of the active CiA stimulates the transcription of several target genes 2 THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY 1.

CARBOXY-TERMINAL HOG DOMAIN (HhC) (oriol) 5. QUESTIONS THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY 2 > The Hedgehog family consists of secreted signal proteins which comprise different domains and several motifs Signal peptide for protein export (SS) Amino-terminal 'Hedge' secreted signaling domain (HhN) Carboxy-terminal 'Hog' autocatalytic domain (HnC), containing the 'Hint' module and the Sterol Recognition site (SRR) Signaling domain Autocatalytic domain 2 THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY Role of hedgehog protein in the hedgehog signaling pathway > To become an active ligand requires: > > Autoprocessing reaction > > Palmitoylation of the most amino-terminal cysteine > Once released into the extracellular environment, interacts with different proteins in multimeric form > Targets Patched (Ptc) protein (1) the signal sequence is cleaved Autoprocessing reaction (2) the C-terminal domain of the Hh polypeptide catalyzes an intramolecular cholesteroyl transfer reaction, resulting in (3) the formation of a C-terminally cholesterol-modified Nterminal Hh signaling domain (HhN). This causes association of HhN with membranes, which facilitates the final modification, Palmitoylation (4) the addition of a palmitic acid moiety to the N terminus by an acyltransferase, resulting in the formation of dually modified Hh signaling domain > Skinny hedgehog (Ski or Ras) in Dros. Mel. > Hedgehog AcetylTransferase (HHAT) in mammals 2 THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY Role of the hedgehog protein in the hedgehog signaling pathway > To become an active ligand requires: > > Autoprocessing reaction > > Palmitoylation of the most amino-terminal cysteine > Once released into the extracellular environment, interacts with different proteins in multimeric form > Targets Patched (Ptc) protein Growth Arrest Specific 1 (GAS1) > Attenuates signaling, reduces effective range Hedgehog-Interacting Protein (Hip) > Membrane-bound glycoprotein > Binds to SHH, DHH and IHH > Attenuates signaling, reduces effective range Glypical Dally-Like (Dlp) > Acts as an accessory receptor > Helps in HhN transport Interference Hedgehog (Ihog) - Dros. Mel. Boc / Cdo - Mammals > Required for normal HhN signaling > Facilitate binding to responding cells > Increase HhN association with Ptc 2 THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY Role of the hedgehog protein in the hedgehog signaling pathway > To become an active ligand requires: > > Autoprocessing reaction > > Palmitoylation of the most amino-terminal cysteine > Once released into the extracellular environment, interacts with different proteins in multimeric form > Targets Patched (Ptc) protein The key function of the HhN as an extracellular signal is to inhibit the activity of the receptor Patched (Ptc). In the absence of HhN binding, Patched represses a signaling pathway that acts trough Smoothened. The downstream signaling pathway is ultimately leading Gli (mammals) or Ci (dros. mel.) transcription factors to activate target genes. 2 THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY Dhh > The Hh gene family is present throughout Eumetazoa although it is absent in some nematodes One single gene in Drosophila melanogaster Three paralogous genes in most eumetazoa : Sonic Hedgehog (Shh), Indian Hedgehog (Ihh) and Desert Hedgehog (Dhh) Ihh Shh Due to genome duplication of ray-finned fishes in zebrafish five hh genes are present >Caenorhabditis elegans has no hh genes but has hh-relates genes via the Hog domain Drosophila single hh C.elegans hh-like 2 THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY Sequence alignment of Hedgehog family Hedge domain Hog domain 2 THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY Hedgehog amino-terminal signalling domain 'Hedge' > The N-terminal domain of Hedgehog proteins > It has been found in sponges and cnidaria in a large extracellular membrane protein called Hedling Contains many additional domains apart from Hedge but lacks Hog domain 2 THE HEDGEHOG PROTEIN FAMILY Hedgehog carboxy-terminal autoproteolytic domain 'Hog' >The domain characterizes a group of cysteine peptidases >High similarity of Hint module to self splicing inteins >Several classes of Hint containing proteins, with various types of processing activities 2 AMINO-TERMINAL HEDGE DOMAIN (HhN) Evolution of hh and hh-related genes and domain architecture 3 AMINO-TERMINAL HEDGE DOMAIN (HhN) 1.
