Negative regulator of beta-catenin signaling Negative regulator of beta-catenin signaling (By similarity). Regulates the formation of either the **repressor form (GLI3R)** or the **activator form (GLI3A)** of the full-length form of GLI3 (GLI3FL) (PubMed:24311597, 28965847). GLI3FL is complexed with SUFU in the cytoplasm and is maintained in a neutral state (PubMed:24311597, 28965847). Without the Hh signal, the SUFU-GLI3 complex is recruited to cilia, leading to the efficient processing of GLI3FL into GLI3R (PubMed:24311597, 28965847). [When no shh, there is Gli3 repression] When Hh signaling is initiated, SUFU dissociates from GLI3FL and the latter translocates to the nucleus, where it is phosphorylated, destabilized, and converted to a transcriptional activator (GLI3A) (PubMed:24311597, 28965847). # SHH acylation.

By traveling through the membrane. recent reports show that other signaling cascades, including RAS [7,8] and TGFβ [9], can also modulate GLI activity in cancer cells, thus demonstrating that GLI proteins are key effectors of multiple signaling pathways involved in normal and pathogenic cellular processes. Eichberger et al. [13] demonstrated the existence of a subset of GLI1 and GLI2 co-regulated genes in keratinocytes In this study, we demonstrate that GLI1 and GLI2 form a **protein complex** that plays a role in the regulation of gene expression in pancreatic cancer cells. We further show that both transcription factors regulate the expression of genes involved in modulation of cell growth and survival, including BCL2, MYCN and CCND1 [2020 GLI1/GLI2 functional interplay is required to control Hedgehog/GLI targets gene expression](https://portlandpress.com/biochemj/article-abstract/477/17/3131/226006/GLI1-GLI2-functional-interplay-is-required-to?redirectedFrom=fulltext) ![image.png](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyCnX-dmp.png) ## Gli1 DNA consensus sequence 5'-GACCACCCA-3' (PubMed:2105456, 8378770, 24217340).
