A Smad Transcriptional Corepressor
Following TGFbeta receptor-mediated phosphorylation and association with Smad4, Smad2 moves into the nucleus, binds to target promoters in association with DNA-binding cofactors, and recruits coactivators such as p300/CBP to activate transcription. We identified the homeodomain protein TGIF as a Smad2-binding protein and a repressor of transcription. A TGFbeta-activated Smad complex can recruit...
متن کاملThe Smad transcriptional corepressor TGIF recruits mSin3.
The homeodomain protein TG-interacting factor (TGIF) represses transcription by histone deacetylase-dependent and -independent means. Heterozygous mutations in human TGIF result in holoprosencephaly, a severe genetic disorder affecting craniofacial development, suggesting that TGIF is critical for normal development. After transforming growth factorbeta (TGFbeta) stimulation, Smad proteins ente...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor antagonizes the profibrotic action of TGF-beta1 in mesangial cells by stabilizing Smad transcriptional corepressor TGIF.
Mesangial cell activation is a predominant pathologic feature of diabetic nephropathy that precedes the accumulation of extracellular matrix leading to glomerulosclerosis. For understanding the potential mechanism by which hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) ameliorates diabetic nephropathy, the effects of HGF on mesangial cell activation induced by TGF-beta1 were investigated. Western blot analysis...
متن کاملThe transcriptional corepressor CtBP: a foe of multiple tumor suppressors.
CtBP1 and CtBP2 are closely related and evolutionarily conserved transcriptional corepressors. There is strong evidence linking CtBPs to tumorigenesis and tumor progression. CtBPs promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition and function as apoptosis antagonists. Also, CtBPs mediate repression of several tumor suppressor genes. Certain tumor suppressors also target CtBPs to restrain their tumor-pr...
متن کاملThe Transcriptional Corepressor RIP140 Regulates Oxidative Metabolism in Skeletal Muscle
Nuclear receptor signaling plays an important role in energy metabolism. In this study we demonstrate that the nuclear receptor corepressor RIP140 is a key regulator of metabolism in skeletal muscle. RIP140 is expressed in a fiber type-specific manner, and manipulation of its levels in null, heterozygous, and transgenic mice demonstrate that low levels promote while increased expression suppres...
