Members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily signal via different heteromeric complexes of two sequentially acting serine/threonine kinase receptors, i,e, type I and type II receptors, We generated two different chimeric TGF-beta superfamily receptors, i.e. T beta R-I/BMPR-IB, containing the extracellular domain of TGF-beta type I receptor (TPR-I) and the intracellular domain of bone morphogenetic protein type IB receptor (BMPR-IB), and T beta R-II/ActR-IIB, containing the extracellular domain of TGF-beta type II receptor (TPR-II) and the intracellular domain of activin type IIB receptor (ActR-IIB), In the presence of TGF-beta 1, T beta R-I/BMPR-IB and T beta R-II/ActR-IIB formed heteromeric complexes with wild-type TPR-II and TPR-I, respectively, upon stable transfection in mink lung epithelial cell lines, We show that T beta R-II/ActR-IIB restored the responsiveness upon transfection in mutant cell lines lacking functional TPR II with respect to TGF-beta-mediated activation of a transcriptional signal, extracellular matrix formation, growth inhibition, and Smad phosphorylation. Moreover, T beta R-I/BMPR-IB and T beta R-II/ActR-IIB formed a functional complex in response to TGF-beta and induced phosphorylation of Smad1, However, complex formation is not enough for signal propagation, which is shown by the inability of T beta R-I/BMPR-IB to restore responsive ness to TGF-beta in cell lines deficient in functional TPR-I, The fact that the TGF-beta 1-induced complex between T beta R-II/ActR-IIB and TPR-I stimulated endogenous Smad2 phosphorylation, a TGF-beta-like response, is in agreement with the current model for receptor activation in which the type I receptor determines signal specificity.
