Specific Residues of RUNX2 Are Obligatory for Formation of BMP2-Induced RUNX2-SMAD Complex to Promote Osteoblast Differentiation
26 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
BMP2 signaling and RUNX2 regulatory pathways converge for transcriptional control of bone formation in vivo. SMAD proteins are recruited to RUNX2 regulatory complexes via an overlapping nuclear matrix targeting signal/Smad interacting domain sequence (391-432) in Runx2. To establish the contribution of RUNX2-SMAD interaction to osteoblastogenesis, we characterized a number of point mutants. Only a triple mutation...
