Abstract excerpt
The transmembrane protein Smoothened (Smo) is activated in response to the extracellular protein signal, Hedgehog (Hh), and transmits this state of pathway activity into the cell. Previous studies in Drosophila have correlated pathway activation with Smo accumulation and increased phosphorylation. Using immunopurification and mass spectrometry, we identify here 26 serine/threonine residues within the Smo...
