𝝅-Turn

Consists of 6 amino acids, generally termed as i, i + 1 , i + 2 i + 3 i + 4 and i + 5

H-bond is seen between i and i + 5 (First and sixth residue)

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

In this complex, Ci becomes phosphorylated in a series of steps catalyzed by PKA, GSK3β, and CK1.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

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.
