Abstract
TGF-beta and activin induce the phosphorylation and activation of Smad2 and Smad3, but how these proteins stimulate gene transcription is poorly understood. We report that TGF-beta receptor phosphorylation of Smad3 promotes its interaction with the paralogous coactivators CBP and p300, whereas CBP/p300 binding to nonphosphorylated Smad3 or its oligomerization partner Smad4 is negatively regulated by Smad-intramolecular interactions. Furthermore, p300 and TGF-beta receptor-phosphorylated Smad3 synergistically augment transcriptional activation. Thus, CBP/p300 are important components of activin/TGF-beta signaling and may mediate the antioncogenic functions of Smad2 and Smad4.
