Sonic hedgehog (Shh), a vertebrate homolog of the Drosophila segment polarity gene hedgehog (hh), has been implicated in patterning of the developing chick limb. Such a role is suggested by the restricted expression of Shh along the posterior limb bud margin, and by the observation that heterologous cells expressing Shh have limb-polarizing activity resembling that of cells from the polarizing region of the posterior limb bud margin. It has not been demonstrated, however, that the Sonic hedgehog protein (SHH) alone is sufficient for limb patterning. SHH has been shown to undergo autoproteolytic cleavage in vitro, yielding two smaller products. It is of interest, therefore, to determine whether processing of SHH occurs in the developing limb and how such processing influences the function of SHH.
