DESCRIPTION

Also known as SMUF2_HUMAN, SMURF2. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates (PubMed:11016919). Interacts with SMAD7 to trigger SMAD7-mediated transforming growth factor beta/TGF-beta receptor ubiquitin-dependent degradation, thereby downregulating TGF-beta signaling (PubMed:11163210, PubMed:12717440). In addition, interaction with SMAD7 activates autocatalytic degradation, which is prevented by interaction with AIMP1 (PubMed:18448069). Also forms a stable complex with TGF-beta receptor-mediated phosphorylated SMAD1, SMAD2 and SMAD3, and targets SMAD1 and SMAD2 for ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation (PubMed:11016919, PubMed:11158580, PubMed:11389444). SMAD2 may recruit substrates, such as SNON, for ubiquitin-dependent degradation (PubMed:11389444). Negatively regulates TGFB1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and myofibroblast differentiation (PubMed:30696809)., (Microbial infection) In case of filoviruses Ebola/EBOV and Marburg/MARV infection, the complex formed by viral matrix protein VP40 and SMURF2 facilitates virus budding. Interacts (via WW domains) with SMAD1 (PubMed:11158580). Interacts (via WW domains) with SMAD2 (via PY-motif) (PubMed:11158580, PubMed:11389444). Interacts (via WW domains) with SMAD3 (via PY-motif) (PubMed:11158580, PubMed:11389444). Interacts with SMAD6 (PubMed:11158580). Interacts with SMAD7 (via PY-motif) and TGFBR1; SMAD7 recruits SMURF2 to the TGF-beta receptor and regulates its degradation (PubMed:11163210, PubMed:11158580, PubMed:33673144, PubMed:16061177, PubMed:16641086). Does not interact with SMAD4; SMAD4 lacks a PY-motif (PubMed:11158580). Interacts with AIMP1 (PubMed:18448069). Interacts with SNON (PubMed:11389444). Interacts with STAMBP and RNF11 (PubMed:14562029, PubMed:14755250). May interact with NDFIP1 and NDFIP2; this interaction induces the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. Interacts with TTC3 (Probable).
