Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a critical serine/threonine residue within the linker domain of Smad2/3, phosphorylated by the kinase GRK2 which plays a critical role in regulating Smad signaling. To define the mechanism by which GRK2-mediated phosphorylation modifies Smad2/3 behavior at the molecular level, we generated mutant Smads where the GRK2 phosphorylation site was replaced with an aspartic acid (D) to mimic the...
