Inhibitory Smads (I-Smads) play important roles to negatively regulate TGF-β/BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) signaling, thus controlling numerous cellular and developmental processes. Recent studies have suggested that Smad7, a member of I-Smads, is overexpressed in numerous cancer types and its abundance is positively correlated to the malignancy. However, the molecular mechanism underlying action of I-Smads in cells remains poorly understood. Here we show that the Drosophila I-Smad, Dad, accesses the membrane via palmitoylation to target the BMP type I receptor for ubiquitination. Importantly, we show that the palmitoyltransferase dHIP14 catalyzes Dad palmitoylation and antagonizes BMP/Dpp signaling. Our findings uncover a mechanism by which I-Smad controls TGF-β/BMP signaling. TGF-β/BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) signaling pathways play conserved roles in controlling embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and stem cell regulation. Inhibitory Smads (I-Smads) have been shown to negatively regulate TGF-β/BMP signaling by primarily targeting the type I receptors for ubiquitination and turnover. However, little is known about how I-Smads access the membrane to execute their functions. Here we show that Dad, the Drosophila I-Smad, associates with the cellular membrane via palmitoylation, thereby targeting the BMP type I receptor for ubiquitination. By performing systematic biochemistry assays, we characterized the specific cysteine (Cys556) essential for Dad palmitoylation and membrane association. Moreover, we demonstrate that dHIP14, a Drosophila palmitoyl acyl-transferase, catalyzes Dad palmitoylation, thereby inhibiting efficient BMP signaling. Thus, our findings uncover a modification of the inhibitory Smads that controls TGF-β/BMP signaling activity.
