Crystal structure of a phosphorylated Smad2
Overview
Ligand-induced phosphorylation of the receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads), is essential in the receptor Ser/Thr kinase-mediated TGF-beta signaling., The crystal structure of a phosphorylated Smad2, at 1.8 A resolution, reveals the formation of a homotrimer mediated by the C-terminal, phosphoserine (pSer) residues. The pSer binding surface on the MH2 domain, frequently targeted for inactivation in cancers, is highly conserved among, the Co- and R-Smads. This finding, together with mutagenesis data, pinpoints a functional interface between Smad2 and Smad4. In addition, the, pSer binding surface on the MH2 domain coincides with the surface on, R-Smads that is required for docking interactions with the, serine-phosphorylated receptor kinases. These observations define a, bifunctional role for the MH2 domain as a pSer-X-pSer binding module in, receptor Ser/Thr kinase signaling pathways.
