"Arkadia represses the expression of myoblast differentiation markers through degradation of ski and the ski-bound smad complex in c2c12 myoblasts. Arkadia bound smad2/3 via ski to induce the ubiquitination of smad2/3. These results suggest that arkadia targets ski-bound, inactive phospho-smad2/3 to regulate positively myostatin/tgf-beta signaling."
"Here, we report a novel interaction between smads and ubiquitin c-terminal hydrolase uch37, a deubiquitinating enzyme that could potentially reverse smurf-mediated ubiquitination. In gst pull down experiments, uch37 bound weakly to smad2 and smad3, and bound very strongly to smad7 in a region that is distinct from the -py- motif in smad7 that interacts with smurf ubiquitin ligases"
