{Summary}
Function/Pathway
  • Mediation of Sonic Hedgehog–Induced Expression of COUP-TFII by a Protein Phosphatase (Krishnan et al., 1997)
  • They indicate that there is a different transcription factor other than Gli that binds to their Shh dependent element.
Genetic interactions
{Genetic interations}
Physical interactions
  • ShhN internalized by Ptc1 accumulated to much higher levels with leupeptin treatment (Incardona, 2002), consistent with observations on endogenous Shh in embryonic neural tissue (Incardona, 2000)
Transcriptional Regulation
  • Shh upregulates hptc and Gli1
Structure
{Structure}
Location (protein and transcript)
  • In the absenceof leupeptin, the small amount of internalized ShhN detected was localized to LBPA+ late endosomes, and, in the presence of leupeptin, ShhN and Ptc1 accumulated highly in LAMP-1+ vesicles.
  • Double labeling for Ptc1 and LBPA was precluded by a requirement for Triton X-100 permeabilization to expose Ptc1HA immunoreactivity, which extracts LBPA. Concanamycin A treatment resulted in the accumulation of Ptc1 and ShhN in transferrin early endosomes, and ShhN did not colocalize with LBPA. Ptc1+ early endosomes appeared with similar kinetics (data not shown) and degree with or without ligand, indicating that Ptc1 reaches endosomes from the cell surface rather than by another route.
