The phosphorylated Ci is proteolytically cleaved by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, generating an N-terminal fragment Ci75, which functions as a transcriptional repressor of Hh target genes.

Hh binds to Ptc, causing Ptc to be endocytosed from the cell surface and degraded, relieving the inhibition of Smo.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

The C-terminal segment of Smo binds Cos2, and Smo is stabilized from degradation

Both Fu and Cos2 become extensively phosphorylated, and Fu-Cos2-Ci complex Dissociates

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Dissociation of cytosolic complex leads to the stabilization of the full-length Ci, which moves into the

nucleus, displaces the repressor Ci75 from the promoter of target genes, and induces expression of target genes.
