Background
SMURF2 (SMAD ubiquitin regulatory factor 2) is a negative regulator of TGF-beta signaling (1). SMURF1 and SMURF2 are members of HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligase which are involved in the enzymatic reactions of the Ub conjugating pathway (1,2). SMURF2 is widely expressed and was initially identified as an inhibitor of TGF-beta/BMP signaling by targeting R-Smads and TGF type I receptor for ubiquitination and degradation (3). Studies have shown that SMURF2 functions as a tumor suppressor by maintaining genomic stability through targeting RNF20 (3). SMURF2 associates constitutively with SMAD7 (4).
