SMAD3 bound to MYC is inactive. 1 / 1

"Through its direct interaction with smads, c-myc binds to the sp1-smad complex on the promoter of the p15(ink4b) gene, thereby inhibiting the tgf-beta-induced transcriptional activity of sp1 and smad/sp1-dependent transcription of the p15(ink4b) gene. These results suggest that oncogenic c-myc promotes cell growth and cancer development partly by inhibiting the growth inhibitory functions of smads."
