Article Title: Engagement of bone morphogenetic protein type IB receptor and Smad1 signaling by anti-Mullerian hormone and its type II receptor
Abstract: Anti-Mullerian hormone induces the regression of fetal Mullerian ducts and inhibits the transcription of gonadal steroidogenic enzymes. It belongs to the transforming growth factor-β family whose members signal through a pair of serine/threonine kinase receptors and Smad effectors. Only the anti-Mullerian hormone type II receptor has been identified. Our goal was to determine whether anti-Mullerian hormone could share a type I receptor with another family member. Co-immunoprecipitation of known type I receptors with anti-Mullerian hormone type II receptor clearly showed that the bone morphogenetic protein type IB receptor was the only cloned type I receptor interacting in a ligand-dependent manner with this type II receptor. Anti-Mullerian hormone also activates the bone morphogenetic protein-specific Smad1 pathway and the XVent2 reporter gene, an anti-Mullerian hormone type II receptor-dependent effect abrogated by a dominant negative version of bone morphogenetic protein type IB receptor. Reverse amplification experiments showed that bone morphogenetic protein type IB receptor is co-expressed with anti-Mullerian hormone type II receptor in most anti-Mullerian hormone target tissues. Our data support a model in which a ligand, anti-Mullerian hormone, gains access to a shared type I receptor and Smad1 system through a highly restricted type II receptor.
