Genetic Analysis of the Mammalian Transforming Growth Factor-β Superfamily

Hua Chang, Chester W. Brown, Martin M. Matzuk
2002 Endocrine reviews  
These investigations have revealed that TGF-␤ superfamily ligands, receptors, SMADs, and upstream and downstream regulators function in diverse developmental and physiological pathways.  ...  Most ligands of the family signal through transmembrane serine/ threonine kinase receptors and SMAD proteins to regulate cellular functions.  ...  TGF-␤ also promotes the formation of a complex containing SMAD3, the anaphase-promoting complex, and SnoN, which leads to SnoN ubiquination and degradation (125) .  ...

Insights into Bone Morphogenetic Protein—(BMP-) Signaling in Ocular Lens Biology and Pathology

Daisy Y. Shu, Frank J. Lovicu
2021 Cells  
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a diverse class of growth factors that belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) superfamily.  ...  In this review, we summarize recent insights in this topic and discuss the complexities of BMP-signaling including the role of individual BMP ligands, receptors, extracellular antagonists and cross-talk  ...  Conflicts of Interest: The authors declare no conflict of interest.  ...

The Smad3 linker region: transcriptional activity and phosphorylation-mediated regulation

Guannan Wang
2008
The phosphorylation triggers heteromeric complex formation with Smad4 and the translocation of the Smads into the nucleus, where they recruit co-activators, co-repressors and other transcription factors  ...  We have found that the linker region of Smad3 contains a transcriptional activation domain.  ...  Thus, Smad2 binding to both Smurf2 and SnoN brings together the two proteins into a Smurf2-Smad2-SnoN ternary complex.  ...

Systems biological analyses of intracellular signal transduction [article]

Stefan Legewie, Humboldt-Universität Zu Berlin, Humboldt-Universität Zu Berlin
2017
Finally, a reverse engineering approach is applied to derive the topology of a complex mammalian transcription factor network from high-throughput knock-down data.  ...  Dynamic data-based modelling identifies the SnoN oncoprotein as the central negative feedback regulator in the TGFbeta signalling pathway, and corresponding model predictions are verified experimentally  ...  I had lots of fun and exciting discussions with my room-mates, especially with Nils, Pål, Adrian, Kasia, and James. In particular, Nils contributed a large part to this thesis.  ...
