Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates a wide variety of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix deposition. Dysregulation of TGF-beta signaling is associated with several diseases such as cancer and tissue fibrosis. TGF-beta signals through two transmembrane proteins known as the type I (TGFBR1) and type II (TGFBR2) receptors. The levels of these receptors at the cell surface are tightly regulated by several mechanisms, including degradation following recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin ligase SMAD ubiquitination regulatory factor (Smurf) 2 by SMAD7. In addition, TGF-beta co-receptors can modulate TGF-beta signaling receptor activity in a cell-specific manner. We have previously identified a novel TGF-beta co-receptor, CD109, a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein that negatively regulates TGF-beta signaling. Despite CD109's potential relevance as a regulator of TGF-beta action in vivo, the mechanisms by which CD109 regulates TGF-beta signaling are still incompletely understood. Previously, we have shown that CD109 downregulates TGF-beta signaling by promoting TGF-beta receptor localization into the lipid raft/caveolae compartment and by enhancing TGF-beta receptor degradation. Here, we demonstrate that CD109 enhances SMAD7/Smurf2-mediated degradation of TGFBR1 in a ligand-dependent manner. Moreover, we show that CD109 regulates the localization and the association of SMAD7/Smurf2 with TGFBR1. Finally, we demonstrate that CD109's inhibitory effect on TGF-beta signaling and responses require SMAD7 expression and Smurf2 ubiquitin ligase activity. Taken together, these results suggest that CD109 is an important regulator of SMAD7/Smurf2-mediated degradation of TGFBR1. J. Cell. Biochem. 113: 238246, 2012. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
