Gli3 also known as GLI Family Zinc Finger 3 is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Gli3 functions as both an activator and a repressor depending on its post-translational modification state. It has a molecular mass of approximately 172 kDa. Mainly expressed in the limb buds central nervous system and other embryonic tissues Gli3 influences the development of various structures during embryogenesis.
Biological function summary
Gli3 is essential for proper organ and tissue development. It associates with other proteins including the Suppressor of Fused (SUFU) to form complexes that regulate target gene expression. Gli3 interacts with GLI1 and GLI2 all of which are part of the Gli family of transcription factors. These interactions modulate various developmental processes by controlling target gene transcription ensuring tissues develop correctly.
Pathways
Gli3 is an important player in the Hedgehog signaling pathway and also impacts a secondary pathway the Wnt signaling pathway. Gli3 acts in coordination with the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) protein regulating developmental gene expression. SHH binds to the Patched receptor affecting Gli3's function as a transcriptional repressor or activator. By these pathways Gli3 ensures proper cellular communication and structural formation.
Mutations or dysregulation of Gli3 are connected to two major conditions: Pallister-Hall Syndrome and Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome. Both conditions involve limb malformations and other developmental defects due to abnormal GLI3 function. Furthermore Gli3 dysregulation links to abnormal activity of SUFU and GLI2 contributing to the pathogenesis of these syndromes. Understanding these interactions can provide critical insights into therapeutic strategies for related disorders.
