title: [Role of Ski/SnoN protein in the regulation of TGF-beta signal pathway].
abstract: TGF-beta signal pathway plays an important role in the cell growth, differentiation, formation of extracellular matrix, embryo development and carcinogenesis, etc. However, the regulation of TGF-beta pathway is not totally understood. In 1999, three independent research groups found that Ski/SnoN protein could inhibit the TGF-beta mediated transcription by recruiting N-CoR, a transcription co-repressor. Later studies suggested that TGF-beta and SMADs degraded the Ski/SnoN protein by mediating ubiquitin linkage, showing negative feedback regulation. The important findings in Ski/SnoN laid the theoretical foundation for demonstrating the function of TGF-beta signal pathway.
