    motifs/domains
  • a regulator region including a CBP (CREBBP)-binding domain
  • the phosphorylation sites of cAMP-dependent protein kinase
  • five C2H2-type zinc fingers
  • a GLI consensus binding site (GLIBS)
    • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to Drosophila segment polarity gene Cubitus interruptus (CI)
    ortholog to murine Gli3
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • GLI-Krüppel family

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the development of the CNS, craniofacial structure, lung, trachea and oesophagus
  • more generatly acting both as an activator and a repressor as does CI (cubitus interruptus) in sonic hedgehog signaling, and regulating digit number and identity
  • inducing GLT1 transcription in response to SHH
  • activating BMP4 and BMP7 gene promoters
  • GLI2 and GLI3 collectively mediate all major aspects of IHH function during endochondral skeletal development
  • acting as a downstream mediator of the Sonic hedgehog signal-transduction pathway, essential for early development and playing a role in cell growth, specialization, and patterning of structures such as the brain and limbs
  • required for maintaining the cortical progenitors in active cell cycle, suggesting that cells may acquire differentiated status as they turn off GLI3 expression during neurogenesis
  • a GLI3 proteolytic processing is involved in primary cilia control telencephalic patterning and morphogenesis
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    INTERACTION
    DNA binding to GLT1 promoter
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
    • protein
  • binding to CREBBP with SHH to regulate many processes in cells
  • bind to ZIC3 through the GLI consensus binding site (GLIBS)
  • interacting with KIF7 (requirement for KIF7 in the efficient localization of GLI3 to cilia in response to HH and for the processing of GLI3 to its repressor form)
  • interacting with SUFU and GLI1, GLI2, GLI3 (SUFU regulates GLI protein levels by antagonizing the activity of SPOP, a conserved GLI-degrading factor)
  • binds to the promoter of TNFRSF10A and Hedgehog requires an intact GLI3-repression activity to silence TNFRSF10A expression)
  • PIAS1-dependent SUMOylation influences GLI1, GLI2, GLI3 protein activity and thereby identifies SUMOylation as a post-translational mechanism that regulates the hedgehog signaling pathway
  • interacting with SUFU (SUFU controls cerebellar patterning and cell differentiation in a GLI3 repressor-dependent manner
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
    activated by SHH to produce an anterior/posterior gradient to the developing limb, and to regulate digit number and identity
