Following statements are regarding to receptor serine kinases.
A. The two serines in each Smad3 that were phosphorylated by the RI receptor kinase bind to phosphoserine-binding sites in the MH1 domains of a Smad3 or a Smad4, forming a stable complex containing two molecules of phosphorylated Smad3 (or Smad2) and one molecule of the co-Smad (Smad4).
B. The bound importin then mediates translocation of the heteromeric R-Smad/co-Smad complex into the nucleus.
C. After importin dissociates inside the nucleus, the Smad3/Smad4 (or Smad2/Smad4) complex binds to other transcription factors to activate transcription of specific target genes.
D. Transcription of the PAI-1 gene requires formation of a complex of the transcription factor TFE3 with the R-Smad/co-Smad (Smad3/Smad4) complex and binding of all these proteins to specific sequences within the regulatory region of the PAI-1 gene.
E. Within the nucleus, R-Smads are further modified by phosphorylation of their linker domains, monoubiquitinylation of their MH1 domains, acetylation of their MH2 domains, and dephosphorylation of the C-terminal serines by nuclear phosphatases.
