Smad about elastin regulation.
Elastin is crucial to pulmonary function, yet it appears in the pulmonary vasculature and interstitium late in gestation in large mammals and postnatally in rodents (1). Deletion of the ELN gene in mice produces obstructive arterial disease (2, 3) and disrupts terminal airway branching as well as alveogenesis (4); moreover, several forms of elastic tissue disease collectively known as cutis lax...
متن کاملIt’s a SMAD/SMAD World
DPC4/SMAD4 mutations are associated with aggressive pancreatic cancer. In this issue of Cell, Whittle et al. demonstrate that Runx3 expression combined with Dpc4/Smad4 status can predict the metastatic propensity of pancreatic tumors, providing valuable guidance for personalized therapy for patients with pancreatic cancer.
متن کاملE2F proteins
What is it? Physiological E2F is a heterodimer composed of an E2F subunit together with a DP subunit. There are six published members of the E2F family that are divided into three sub-groups based upon sequence homology and domain organization. Each E2F subunit has a DNA binding and dimerization domain. E2F-1, -2, -3 each have an extended amino-terminal region that binds CyclinA/Cdk2 kinase and...

متن کاملSmad signalling network.
Dimeric ligands of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily bind with high affinity to type II and type I receptor serine/threonine kinases on the cell surface and induce hetero-tetrameric receptor complexes. In such complexes, constitutively auto-phosphorylated type II receptors (green) trans-phosphorylate (arrows) the type I receptor (blue) GS domain. Activated receptors recruit a...
