Smads and early developmental signaling by the TGFbeta superfamily.
Members of the transforming growth factor b (TGFb) superfamily of peptide growth factors regulate a broad range of cellular functions, including proliferation, apoptosis, extracellular matrix secretion and adhesion, terminal differentiation, and specification of developmental fate (Roberts and Sporn 1993; Wall and Hogan 1994; Moses and Serra 1996). Although regulation of each of these functions...
متن کاملContributions by members of the TGFbeta superfamily to lens development.
Members of the TGFbeta superfamily of growth and differentiation factors, including the TGFbeta, BMP, activin and nodal families, play important signaling roles throughout development. This paper summarizes some of the functions of these ligands in lens development. Targeted deletion of the genes encoding one of the BMP receptors, Alk3 (BMP receptor-1A), showed that signaling through this recep...
متن کاملPPM1A Functions as a Smad Phosphatase to Terminate TGFβ Signaling
TGFbeta signaling controls diverse normal developmental processes and pathogenesis of diseases including cancer and autoimmune and fibrotic diseases. TGFbeta responses are generally mediated through transcriptional functions of Smads. A key step in TGFbeta signaling is ligand-induced phosphorylation of receptor-activated Smads (R-Smads) catalyzed by the TGFbeta type I receptor kinase. However, ...
متن کاملThe role of Smads in BMP signaling.
Bone morphogenetic proteins, BMPs, are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily, which are implicated in embryogenesis, organogenesis, skeletogenesis, osteogenesis, cellular differentiation and apoptosis by regulating the expression of specific target genes. Recent progresses in studying the BMP signaling reveal that a cytoplasmic protein family, Smad, plays a centr...
متن کاملDevelopmental Changes of TGF-β1 and Smads Signaling Pathway in Intestinal Adaption of Weaned Pigs
Weaning stress caused marked changes in intestinal structure and function. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and canonical Smads signaling pathway are suspected to play an important regulatory role in post-weaning adaptation of the small intestine. In the present study, the intestinal morphology and permeability, developmental expressions of tight junction proteins and TGF-β1 in the intest...
