SMURF2

SMURF2 (SMAD Specific E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Metabolism of proteins and Innate Immune System. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include identical protein binding and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. An important paralog of this gene is SMURF1.

SMAD Specific E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 2

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 down-regulating 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.
