Structural mechanism for noncanonical GPCR signaling in the Hedgehog pathway
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 30 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01800-zThe authors performed computational and experimental analyses to reveal how Smoothened directly inhibits PKA through an intrinsically disordered region, defining a central step in Hedgehog signaling and a mechanism of G-protein-coupled receptor–kinase regulation.

Now online in @natsmb.nature.com - - We combine AlphaFold, structural, and biochemical approaches to show that SMO directly inhibits PKA via a pseudosubstrate mechanism—revealing a new mode of #GPCR signal transduction in the #Hedgehog pathway. Big thanks to everyone who contributed!

Posted also on linkedin - where it's all one post (why linkedin is better than bluesky for science, frankly). www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... Not posting on Xitter, because I get called the f-word, the q-word, woke, and other things there. 🏳️‍🌈

Univ. of Utah & Huntsman Cancer Institute are seeking tenure-track faculty in cancer biology (broadly defined), especially in combining experimental & computational structural approaches (incl. AlphaFold & other AI/LLM tools) to study cancer-relevant signaling. utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/189...
