The Oncoprotein Ski Acts as an Antagonist of Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling by Suppressing Smad2 Phosphorylation
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
The phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 by the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta-activated receptor kinases and their subsequent heterodimerization with Smad4 and translocation to the nucleus form the basis for a model how Smad proteins work to transmit TGF-beta signals. The transcriptional activity of Smad2-Smad4 or Smad3-Smad4 complexes can be limited by the corepressor Ski, which is believed to interact...
