Furthermore, studies with the agonist and several antagonists of Hh signaling suggest that Smo can be activated or inhibited by direct interaction with small-molecule ligands.
The ideas proposed for the Drosophila system, in which Ptc may affect the levels of Smo or its subcellular localization, are easily accommodated.
Next, we sought to generate association, dissociation and saturation-binding curves, in order to derive affinity constants for the interaction of the Hh agonist and Smo.
Furthermore, the gain-of-function Smo mutation renders the protein less sensitive to the inhibitors, presumably because the amino-acid substitution directly stabilizes or induces an active conformation.
It is plausible that some or all of these effects on Smo result from a feedback inhibition mechanism that targets the activated Smo receptor.
