Gene Description

SHH encodes Sonic hedgehog, a secreted morphogen synthesized as a 462-amino-acid precursor. In the endoplasmic reticulum, its C-terminal HINT domain catalyzes autocleavage coupled to covalent transfer of cholesterol onto the C terminus of the N-terminal signaling product; HHAT subsequently palmitoylates the new N terminus. The mature, dually lipidated SHH-N product is retained at and released from producing-cell membranes and acts locally or over a distance. SHH-N binds PTCH1 or PTCH2, relieving Patched-mediated inhibition of SMO and changing GLI activator/repressor output in target cells. Spatial concentration and duration of this signal control cell-fate specification, proliferation, and tissue patterning across the developing nervous system, limb, somites, and multiple epithelial-mesenchymal organs. Heterozygous loss-of-function variants in human SHH are a cause of holoprosencephaly and related midline developmental defects.

UNDECIDED
Summary: A context-specific role in vertebrate left-right patterning rather than SHH's defining molecular activity. This GOA record uses electronic inference (IEA) from GO_REF:0000107.
Reason: The determination of left/right asymmetry in lateral mesoderm claim was electronically transferred from mouse, but its underlying source experiment is not exposed in this GOA record and independent causal evidence was not available in the cached sources. It is left undecided rather than overruled.

Core Functions

The mature dually lipidated SHH-N morphogen binds Patched receptors on responding cells. This removes PTCH-mediated repression of Smoothened and changes GLI-dependent transcription, converting spatial SHH availability into concentration- and duration-dependent cell-fate and proliferative responses.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:30139912
    Activation occurs when the lipid-modified HH-N binds to its receptor, Patched-1 (PTCH1) protein (15).
  • PMID:30139912
    In the absence of HH-N binding, PTCH1 represses the HH pathway presumably by regulating the transport of a ligand of its downstream protein, Smoothened (SMO) (2, 17, 18).

The C-terminal HINT domain of the SHH precursor catalyzes an intramolecular cholesterolysis reaction: precursor cleavage is coupled to transfer of cholesterol onto the newly generated C terminus of SHH-N. This self-processing reaction produces the cholesterylated signaling product required for its normal trafficking and range.

Directly Involved In:
Cellular Locations:
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:24342078
    This preproprotein is composed of a 23aa signal peptide ER targeting sequence, a 174 amino acid N-terminal signaling domain, and a 265aa C-terminal autoprocessing domain endowed with autoproteolysis and cholesterol transferase activity.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: How do the two PTCH-binding interfaces, SHH calcium/zinc coordination, and dual lipidation quantitatively determine signaling potency and tissue range in human developmental contexts?

Q: Which human tissues use predominantly paracrine versus producing-cell-surface/juxtacrine SHH signaling, and how do DISP1, SCUBE2, glypicans, CDON, BOC, and GAS1 partition those modes?

Q: How closely does Purkinje-cell SHH output and granule-cell-precursor response in human fetal cerebellum or organoids recapitulate the causal circuit established in mouse?

Q: Which developmental phenotypes of human SHH variants arise primarily from defective precursor cholesterolysis, impaired secretion/range, or altered PTCH/co-receptor engagement?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Engineer isogenic human cells with SHH variants that separately disrupt the HINT catalytic residues, cholesterol acceptor site, palmitoylation site, calcium/zinc interface, or PTCH-binding surfaces; quantify precursor processing, lipidation, secretion, PTCH binding, ciliary SMO accumulation, and GLI reporter output.

Experiment: Use spatially resolved human neural-tube, forebrain, limb-bud, and cerebellar organoids with inducible SHH source cells and live GLI reporters to measure how SHH concentration, exposure duration, lipidation, and carrier proteins determine cell-fate thresholds.

Experiment: In human cerebellar organoids, selectively delete or restore SHH in Purkinje-lineage cells and quantify granule-cell-precursor EdU incorporation, cell-cycle state, differentiation, and foliation-like tissue architecture, with SMO inhibition as an epistasis control.
