RT Journal Article T1 Structural basis for catalyzed assembly of the Sonic hedgehog–Patched1 signaling complex A1 García Linares, Sara A1 Huang, Pengxiang A1 Wierbowski, Bradley M. A1 Lian, Tengfei A1 Chan, Charlene A1 Jiang, Jiansen A1 Salic, Adrian AB The dually lipidated Sonic hedgehog (SHH) morphogen signals through the tumor suppressor membrane protein Patched1 (PTCH1) to activate the Hedgehog pathway, which is fundamental in development and can-cer. SHH engagement with PTCH1 requires the GAS1 coreceptor, but the mechanism is unknown. We demonstrate a unique role for GAS1, catalyzing SHH–PTCH1 complex assembly in vertebrate cells by direct SHH transfer from the extracellular SCUBE2 carrier to PTCH1. Structure of the GAS1–SHH–PTCH1 transition state identifies how GAS1 recognizes the SHH palmitate and cholesterol modifications in modular fashionand how it facilitates lipid-dependent SHH handoff to PTCH1. Structure-guided experiments elucidate SHH movement from SCUBE2 to PTCH1, explain disease mutations, and demonstrate that SHH-induced PTCH1 dimerization causes its internalization from the cell surface. These results define how the signaling-competent SHH–PTCH1 complex assembles, the key step triggering the Hedgehog pathway, and provide a paradigm for understanding morphogen reception and its regulation PB Cell Press YR 2022 FD 2022-03-14 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/130425 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/130425 LA eng NO Pengxiang Huang, Bradley M.
