SUFU also known as Suppressor of Fused is a regulatory protein with a mass of approximately 54 kDa. This protein serves as a significant component within the Hedgehog signaling pathway. SUFU is widely expressed in various tissues including brain heart and skeletal muscle. It acts as a negative regulator binding to and inhibiting the activity of other key proteins in the signaling cascade.
Biological function summary
SUFU modulates the activity of the transcription factors Gli1 Gli2 and Gli3 keeping them in the cytoplasm in their inactive form. It can form part of large protein complexes playing an important role in ensuring that signal transduction is tightly regulated. SUFU's function helps control the expression of target genes that are important for development and cellular differentiation. This regulation is essential during embryonic development and tissue maintenance in adults.
Pathways
SUFU has an important role in the Hedgehog signaling pathway and interacts with components like Smoothened (SMO) and Patched (PTCH). This pathway controls processes like cell growth and differentiation. By regulating the activity of Gli proteins SUFU influences how signals are transmitted within the pathway. SUFU can also interact with other proteins such as KIF7 further defining its place within the pathway's network.
SUFU can contribute to the development of basal cell carcinoma and medulloblastoma when its function is disrupted. In cases where mutations affect SUFU regulation the Hedgehog pathway becomes aberrantly activated. This can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation. SUFU's relationship with Gli proteins is significant in these conditions because of its role in modulating their activity directly impacting the onset and progression of these cancers.
