    basic FUNCTION
  • E3 ubiquitin ligases, which suppress transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) family signaling through degradation of Smads and receptors for TGFB and bone morphogenetic proteins
  • regulates cell polarity and protrusive activity by inducing ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of the small GTPase RHOA
  • potentially playing a crucial role in the spatiotemporal regulation of Rho GTPase family members
  • involved in protein modification and ubiquitin cycle
  • mediating the protein degradation of the osteoblast-specific transcription factor RUNX2 and playing a specific role in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation
  • promote RhoA ubiquitination and degradation and regulate cell motility, suggesting its involvement in cancer progression
  • act in the same direction as SMURF2 in TGFB family signaling but play opposite roles in cell migration
  • regulates talin head degradation and ultimately cell migration, and CDK5-mediated phosphorylation of the head prevents SMURF1 action on talin
  • critical role in regulating ING2 protein stability
  • plays a pivotal role in control of cell polarity, maintenance of bone homeostasis and regulation of tumorigenesis through targeting BMP-Smad, Wnt and RhoA signalling pathways
  • promotes TP53 degradation by enhancing the activity of the E3 ligase MDM2
  • functions as a factor to stabilize MDM2 protein rather than as a direct E3 ligase in regulation of TP53 degradation
  • enhances heterodimerization of the MDM2-MDM4 but inhibits homodimerization of MDM2
  • functions as an E3 ligase to promote the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of KLF2
  • represses the transcriptional factor activity of KLF2 and regulates its down-stream genes such as SELL and WEE1
  • targets an ER-localized protein for degradation and is regulated by ER stress
  • ubiquitin ligase controling ubiquitination and stability of diverse cellular protein substrates
  • regulatory circuit between RUNX2 and SMURF1 controls RUNX2 expression and regulates odontoblastic differentiation in dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs)
  • SMURF1 promotes LHX9 ubiquitylation and is involved in testosterone production in Leydig cells directly

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
  • CDH1-ANAPC/SMURF1/RHOA pathway that mediates axonal growth suppression in the developing mammalian brain
  • a component
  • SMAD7-SMURF1 complex inhibited by FKBP12 to regulate the duration of the activin signal
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • receptor-regulated SMAD specific for the BMP pathway (MADH1 and MADH5)
  • XPO1 (CRM1)dependent nuclear export
  • interacts with PDLIM7
  • interacting wtith TGFBR1 through SMAD7 and inducing receptor degradation
  • targets osteogenic SMADs, SMAD1/5, for ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation
  • interacting with SMURF2 but SMURF1 failed to induce degradation of SMURF2
  • interacting with ARHGEF9 (induces proteasomal degradation of ARHGEFG9 in cells)
  • interacting with Talin head
  • interacts with and targets ING2 for poly-ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation
  • interacts with and targets KLF2 for poly-ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation specifically in lung cancer
  • inhibited the transcriptional activity of KLF2 to control its target genes, WEE1 and SELL
  • WFS1 is a specific degradation substrate of SMURF1 (interacts with WFS1 at the ER and promotes the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of WFS1)
  • FBXL15 targets SMURF1 for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation
  • interacting with RHOA (C2 domain of SMURF1 is necessary and sufficient for binding RHOA, and therefore is crucial for targeting RhHOA for ubiquitination)
  • CDH1 promotes the E3 ligase activity of SMURF1
  • SMURF1 interacted with STAT1 through the WW domains of SMURF1 and the PY motif in STAT1 and catalyzed K48-linked polyubiquitination of STAT1
  • PLEKHO1 is an activator of the SMURF1 ubiquitin ligase acting to promote the ubiquitylation of SMAD5 and MAP2K1
  • PLEKHO1 mediates the SMURF1-PSMC5 interaction and delivers the ubiquitylated substrates to the proteasome
  • USP9X interacts with SMURF1 and stabilizes SMURF1 through deubiquitination
  • SMURF1 interaction with EFNB1 prevents the association with SMURF2 and precludes EFNB1 from ubiquitination and degradation, since it is a substantially weaker substrate for SMURF1
  • growth-suppressive role of PLEKHO1 was dependent on the downregulation of the cell cycle-regulated oncogene SMURF1
  • FGFR3 facilitates BMPR1A to degradation through SMURF1-mediated ubiquitination pathway
  • dual role of SMURF1 C2 domain, recruiting SMURF1 to membrane for accessing Axin and mediating its interaction with Axin, and SMURF1-mediated Axin ubiquitination is subjected to the regulation of cell cycle
  • physically SMURF1 interacts with NEDD8 and UBE2M, forms a NEDD8-thioester intermediate, then catalyses its own neddylation on multiple lysine residues, and NEDD8 is critical for the activation of SMURF1 ubiquitin ligase in tumorigenesis
  • TRIB2 associated-BTRC, RFWD2 and SMURF1 reduced TCF4/CTNNB1 expression, and these effects could be enhanced by TRIB2
  • interacts with and targets SMURF1 for poly-ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation
  • E3 ligase SMURF1 regulates USP5 protein stability and USP5-mediated TNF production through the ubiquitin proteasome pathway
  • disruption of PKHD1 function results in dysregulated trafficking of both ubiquitin E3 ligases, SMURF1 and SMURF2
  • SMURF1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, targets LHX9 for ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation, thereby negatively modulating its function
