SMADs are proteins that modulate the activity of transforming growth factor beta ligands. The SMADs, often in complex with other SMADs/CoSMAD, act as transcription factors that regulate the expression of certain genes. Zhu, H et al concluded that targeted ubiquitination of SMADs may serve to control both embryonic development and a wide variety of cellular responses to TGF-beta signals. R-Smads or receptor regulated Smads are a class of proteins that include SMAD1, SMAD2, SMAD3, SMAD5, and SMAD8. In response to signals by the TGF-b superfamily of ligands these proteins associate with receptor kinases and are phosphorylated at an SSXS motif at their extreme C-terminus. These proteins then typically bind to the common mediator Smad or co-SMAD SMAD4.
