Axonally Translated SMADs Link Up BDNF and Retrograde BMP Signaling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Axonal target-derived BMP and neurotrophin signaling are both known to regulate neuronal gene expression, differentiation, and axon growth. In this issue of Neuron, Ji and Jaffrey (2012) discovered that BMP-signaling endosomes depend on BDNF-induced axonal synthesis of SMADs to retrogradely regulate transcription in developing trigeminal neurons, providing a mechanism of integrating the two target-derived signals.

In many cases, neurons acquire distinct identities as their axons navigate toward target cells and encounter target-derived signaling molecules. These molecules generate retrograde signals that activate subtype-specific gene transcription. Mechanisms by which axons convert the complex milieu of signaling molecules into retrograde signals are not fully understood. Here, we examine retrograde sig...
متن کاملMembrane targeting of inhibitory Smads through palmitoylation controls TGF-β/BMP signaling
TGF-β/BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) signaling pathways play conserved roles in controlling embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and stem cell regulation. Inhibitory Smads (I-Smads) have been shown to negatively regulate TGF-β/BMP signaling by primarily targeting the type I receptors for ubiquitination and turnover. However, little is known about how I-Smads access the membrane to execu...
متن کاملCooperative inhibition of bone morphogenetic protein signaling by Smurf1 and inhibitory Smads.
Smad ubiquitin regulatory factor (Smurf) 1 binds to receptor-regulated Smads for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) Smad1/5 and promotes their degradation. In addition, Smurf1 associates with transforming growth factor-beta type I receptor through the inhibitory Smad (I-Smad) Smad7 and induces their degradation. Herein, we examined whether Smurf1 negatively regulates BMP signaling together with...
متن کاملEndo-fin-ally a SARA for BMP receptors.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) control numerous processes in developing and adult organisms by binding to receptors on various cell types. The signals are relayed to the nucleus by signaling molecules called Smads. How the Smads are recruited to BMP receptors has been difficult to establish. In a paper appearing in this issue of Journal of Cell Science, Shi and colleagues show that a lipid-...
متن کاملCK2 Contributes to the Synergistic Effects of BMP7 and BDNF on Smad 1/5/8 Phosphorylation in Septal Neurons
of a dissertation at the University of Miami. The combination of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) and neurotrophins (e.g. brain-derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF) protects septal neurons during hypoglycemic stress. I investigated the signaling mechanisms underlying this synergistic protection. BMP7 (5 nM) increased phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of BMP-responsive Smads 1/5/8 withi...
