Function

Receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD) that is an intracellular signal transducer and transcriptional modulator activated by TGF-beta (transforming growth factor) and activin type 1 receptor kinases. Binds the TRE element in the promoter region of many genes that are regulated by TGF-beta and, on formation of the SMAD2/SMAD4 complex, activates transcription. Promotes TGFB1-mediated transcription of odontoblastic differentiation genes in dental papilla cells (PubMed:33548622). Positively regulates PDPK1 kinase activity by stimulating its dissociation from the 14-3-3 protein YWHAQ which acts as a negative regulator (By similarity).

Activity summary

Smad2 and Smad3 also known as Smad family member 2 and Smad family member 3 are intracellular proteins involved in signaling cascades. Smad2 has a molecular mass of approximately 58 kDa and Smad3 is around 52 kDa. These proteins are part of the Smad family which functions in the signal transduction for the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily. Smad2 and Smad3 are widely expressed in many tissues including the brain heart and lung suggesting their broad biological roles.

Biological function summary

Smad2 and Smad3 regulate transcriptional responses essential for cellular processes including proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. These proteins form a trimeric complex with Smad4 upon activation by TGF-β receptors. The activated complex translocates into the nucleus where it binds to DNA and influences gene expression. Such actions highlight their fundamental role in controlling cell behavior and fate.

Pathways

Smad2 and Smad3 play critical roles within the TGF-β signaling pathway. This pathway has significant effects on cell cycle control and immune regulation. Both Smad2 and Smad3 interact closely with the protein Smad4 to mediate various downstream effects integrating signals with other pathways such as MAPK pathway which involves different cellular responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

Smad2 and Smad3 are closely associated with cancer and fibrosis. Aberrant TGF-β signaling often leads to tumor progression and metastasis partly due to the dysregulated actions of Smad2 and Smad3. Additionally these proteins through their pathway functions contribute to the pathological process of fibrosis in organs like the liver and lungs. It is important to note their interaction with the ERK protein which can also influence disease outcomes in these contexts.
