Smad ubiquitination regulatory factor 1 (Smurf1) is one of members of the Hect family of proteins, which also includes the ubiquitin E3-type ligases Nedd3 and E6-AP. As an E3 ligase, Smurf1 selectively interacts with receptor-regulated Smads to trigger their ubiquitination and degradation. Recently, a report indicates that Smurf1 can inhibit apoptosis by regulating p53 negatively, which depends on the effect of...
