The authors report structures of the HHIP N- and C-terminal domains, both in complexes with glycosaminoglycans, providing insights into the molecular basis for SHH sequestration and inhibition. Hedgehog-Interacting Protein (HHIP) is the only reported secreted inhibitor of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signalling.
Hedgehog (HH) morphogen signalling, crucial for cell growth and tissue patterning in animals, is initiated by the binding of dually lipidated HH ligands to cell surface receptors. Hedgehog-Interacting Protein (HHIP), the only reported secreted inhibitor of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signalling, binds directly to SHH with high nanomolar affinity, sequestering SHH. Here, we report the structure of the HHIP N-terminal domain (HHIP-N) in complex with a glycosaminoglycan (GAG). HHIP-N displays a unique bipartite fold with a GAG-binding domain alongside a Cysteine Rich Domain (CRD). We show that HHIP-N is required to convey full HHIP inhibitory function, likely by interacting with the cholesterol moiety covalently linked to HH ligands, thereby preventing this SHH-attached cholesterol from binding to the HH receptor Patched (PTCH1). We also present the structure of the HHIP C-terminal domain in complex with the GAG heparin. Heparin can bind to both HHIP-N and HHIP-C, thereby inducing clustering at the cell surface and generating a high-avidity platform for SHH sequestration and inhibition. Our data suggest a multimodal mechanism, in which HHIP can bind two specific sites on the SHH morphogen, alongside multiple GAG interactions, to inhibit SHH signalling. Hedgehog-Interacting Protein (HHIP) is the only reported secreted inhibitor of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signalling. Here, the authors report structures of the HHIP N- and C-terminal domains, both in complexes with glycosaminoglycans, providing insights into the molecular basis for SHH sequestration and inhibition.
