(TGF-
) superfamily. Upon phosphorylation by the
TGF-
receptors, Smad3 translocates into the nucleus, recruits transcriptional coactivators and corepressors, and regulates
transcription of target genes. Here, we show that Smad3 activated by
TGF-
is degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Smad3
interacts with a RING finger protein, ROC1, through its
C-terminal MH2 domain in a ligand-dependent manner. An E3 ubiquitin
ligase complex ROC1-SCFFbw1a consisting of ROC1, Skp1,
Cullin1, and Fbw1a (also termed
TrCP1) induces ubiquitination of
Smad3. Recruitment of a transcriptional coactivator, p300, to nuclear
Smad3 facilitates the interaction with the E3 ligase complex and
triggers the degradation process of Smad3. Smad3 bound to
ROC1-SCFFbw1a is then exported from the nucleus to the
cytoplasm for proteasomal degradation. TGF-
/Smad3 signaling is thus
irreversibly terminated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
