Specificity, diversity, and regulation in TGF‐β superfamily signaling
Abstract
Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) superfamily members are multifunctional cell‐cell signaling proteins that play pivotal roles in tissue homeostasis and development of multicellular animals. They mediate their pleiotropic effects from membrane to nucleus through distinct combinations of type I and type II serine/threonine kinase receptors and their downstream effectors, known as Smad proteins. Certain Smads, termed receptor‐regulated Smads, become phosphorylated by activated type I receptors and form heteromeric complexes with a common‐partner Smad4, which translocates into the nucleus to control gene transcription. In addition to these signal transducing Smads, inhibitory Smads have been identified that inhibit the activation of receptor‐regulated Smads. In contrast to the still growing TGF‐β superfamily (with ~30 members in mammals), relatively few type I and type II receptors as well as Smads have been identified. We will focus on recent insights into the molecular mechanisms by which signaling specificity between different TGF‐β superfamily members is achieved and regulated, and how a single family member can elicit a broad scala of biological responses.—Piek, E., Heldin, C.‐H., ten Dijke, P.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
