Journal ArticleDOI

The Human Transcription Factors.

TL;DR: This review considers how TFs are identified and functionally characterized, principally through the lens of a catalog of over 1,600 likely human TFs and binding motifs for two-thirds of them, highlighting the importance of continued effort to understand TF-mediated gene regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of Hedgehog signaling by direct binding of cyclopamine to Smoothened.

TL;DR: It is shown that cyclopamine can reverse the retention of partially misfolded Smo in the endoplasmic reticulum through binding-mediated effects on protein conformation, which suggests a role for small molecules in the physiological regulation of Smo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Hedgehog and Wnt signalling pathways in cancer

TL;DR: Evidence suggesting that tumorigenesis associated with pathway activation may result from mis-specification of cells towards stem-cell or stem cell-like fates is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of oncogenic mutations in Smoothened and Patched can be reversed by cyclopamine

TL;DR: It is shown that the plant-derived teratogen cyclopamine, which inhibits the Hh response, is a potential ‘mechanism-based’ therapeutic agent for treatment of these tumours.
