Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is a multifunctional polypeptide that plays critical roles in regulating a broad range of cellular functions and physiological processes. TGF-beta signalling dysfunction contributes to many disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and immunological diseases. The homoeostasis of negative feedback regulation is critical for signal robustness, duration and specificity, which precisely control physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, the underlying mechanism by which the negative regulation of TGF-beta signalling is integrated and coordinated is still unclear. Here, we reveal that haematopoietic progenitor kinase-interacting protein of 55 kDa (HIP-55) was upregulated upon TGF-beta stimulation, while the loss of HIP-55 caused TGF-beta signalling overactivation and the abnormal accumulation of downstream extracellular matrix (ECM) genes. HIP-55 interacts with Smad7 and competes with Smad7/Axin complex formation to inhibit the Axin-mediated degradation of Smad7. HIP-55 further couples Smad7 to T beta RI but not T beta RII, driving T beta RI degradation. Altogether, our findings demonstrate a new mechanism by which the effector and negative feedback functions of HIP-55 are coupled and may provide novel strategies for the treatment of TGF-beta signalling-related human diseases.
