Article Title: | Physical and functional interaction of SMADS and p300/CBP |
Abstract: | SMADs are transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) receptor substrates and mediators of TGF-β transcriptional responses. Here we provide evidence that the coactivators p300 and CBP interact with Smads 1 through 4. The biological relevance of this interaction is shown in vivo by overexpression of the adenovirus E1A protein and mutant forms of E1A that lack p300-binding sites. Wild-type E1A, but not the mutants, inhibits SMAD-dependent transcriptional responses to TGF-β. E1A also inhibits the intrinsic transactivating function of the Smad4 MH2 domain. In addition, overexpression of p300 enhances SMAD- dependent transactivation. Our results suggest a role for p300/CBP in SMAD- mediated transcriptional activation and provide an explanation for the observed ability of E1A to interfere with TGF-β action. |
