Human Hedgehog acyltransferase (HHAT) in complex with palmitoyl-CoA and two Fab antibody fragments
Structural highlights
DiseaseHHAT_HUMAN Chondrodysplasia-difference of sex development syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. FunctionHHAT_HUMAN Palmitoyl acyltransferase that catalyzes N-terminal palmitoylation of SHH; which is required for SHH signaling (PubMed:18534984, PubMed:24784881, PubMed:31875564). It also catalyzes N-terminal palmitoylation of DHH (PubMed:24784881). Promotes the transfer of palmitoyl-CoA from the cytoplasmic to the luminal side of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, where SHH palmitoylation occurs (PubMed:31875564). It is an essential factor for proper embryonic development and testicular organogenesis (PubMed:24784881).[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedHedgehog proteins govern crucial developmental steps in animals and drive certain human cancers. Before they can function as signaling molecules, Hedgehog precursor proteins must undergo amino-terminal palmitoylation by Hedgehog acyltransferase (HHAT). We present cryo-electron microscopy structures of human HHAT in complex with its palmitoyl-coenzyme A substrate and of a product complex with a palmitoylated Hedgehog peptide at resolutions of 2.7 and 3.2 angstroms, respectively. The structures reveal how HHAT overcomes the challenges of bringing together substrates that have different physiochemical properties from opposite sides of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane within a membrane-embedded active site for catalysis. These principles are relevant to related enzymes that catalyze the acylation of Wnt and of the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin. The structural and mechanistic insights may advance the development of inhibitors for cancer. Substrate and product complexes reveal mechanisms of Hedgehog acylation by HHAT.,Jiang Y, Benz TL, Long SB Science. 2021 Jun 11;372(6547):1215-1219. doi: 10.1126/science.abg4998.
