Boc and Gas1 Each Form Distinct Shh Receptor Complexes with Ptch1 and Are Required for Shh-Mediated Cell Proliferation

Abstract: SUMMARY Hedgehog (Hh) proteins regulate important developmental processes including cell proliferation and differentiation. While Patched acts as the main Hh receptor, in Drosophila, Hh signaling absolutely requires the additional Hh-binding proteins Ihog and Boi. Here we show that, unexpectedly, cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (CGNPs) lacking Boc and Cdon, the vertebrate orthologs of Ihog and Boi, still proliferate in response to Hh. This is because in their absence, Gas1, a Hh-binding protein not prese… Show more

“…Cdo is expressed in retinal neurons but has no apparent roles (36), whereas Gas1 is required earlier to pattern the neural retina (37). Furthermore, Gas1, Boc, and Cdo act cooperatively in several Hh-mediated embryonic patterning events, but they also show unique prevalence for each specific compound mutant phenotype depending on dosage and expression (38,39). Thus, Shh employs Gas1, Cdo, and/or Boc in a context-dependent manner.…”

“…Dorsal progenitors in LDA mutants ultimately experience high levels of SHH, as indicated by FOXA2 and NKX2.2 expression; however, dorsal cells may not receive this signal within the narrow early competence window required for definitive floorplate specification (Ribes et al, 2010). Last, additional HH-binding proteins may limit the time and range of SHH ligand-based responses, including the HH co-receptors GAS1, CDON and BOC Izzi et al, 2011), glypicans (Capurro et al, 2008;Li et al, 2011), megalin (LRP2) (Christ et al, 2012), or other cell-surface proteins.…”

“…Notably, the collective action of PTCH1, PTCH2 and HHIP1 to restrict HH pathway activity is analogous to the general requirement for the HH co-receptors GAS1, CDON and BOC to activate HH signaling Izzi et al, 2011). Similarly, removal of a single co-receptor produces only minor defects in ventral neural patterning while combined removal of GAS1, CDON and BOC reveals their collective requirement in ligand-mediated HH pathway…”

“…During postnatal cerebellar development, both glial astrocytes and GCPs express high levels of the Shh pathway components, including the transmembrane transporter-like patched 1 (Ptch1) and the seventransmembrane span smoothened (Smo) proteins (10,11). Shh signaling is regulated by several ligand-binding factors, including Ptch1, its primary receptor, and associated coreceptors (12,13). The binding of Shh to the Ptch1 complex leads to the derepression of Smo.…”
