p63 Suppresses Non-epidermal Lineage Markers in a Bone Morphogenetic Protein-dependent Manner via Repression of Smad7
29 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
p63, a p53 family member, plays an essential role in epidermal development by regulating its transcriptional program. Here we report a previously uncovered role of p63 in controlling bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, which is required for maintaining low expression levels of several non-epidermal genes. p63 represses transcription of the inhibitory Smad7 and activates Bmp7, thereby sustaining BMP...
