Inhibition of tetrameric Patched1 by Sonic Hedgehog through an asymmetric paradigm

Hedgehog (Hh) controls embryonic development via interaction with its receptor Patched (Ptch). Here the authors report the cryo-EM structure of tetrameric Ptch1 in complex with the palmitoylated N-terminal signaling domain of human Sonic hedgehog (ShhNp) at a 4:2 stoichiometric ratio.
