Sterols in an intramolecular channel of Smoothened mediate Hedgehog signaling

Smoothened (SMO), a class-Frizzled G protein-coupled receptor (class-F GPCR), transduces the Hedgehog signal across cell membrane. Sterols can bind to its extracellular cysteine rich domain (CRD) and to several sites in the 7 transmembrane helices (7-TMs) of SMO. However, the mechanism how sterols r...
