"The ubiquitious nuclear protein transcriptional intermediary factor 1gamma (tif1gamma) selectively binds receptor-phosphorylated smad2/3 in competition with smad4. Rapid and robust binding of tif1gamma to smad2/3 occurs in hematopoietic, mesenchymal, and epithelial cell types in response to tgfbeta. Tif1gamma mediates the differentiation response while smad4 mediates the antiproliferative response with smad2/3 participating in both responses."

Rapid and robust binding of tif1gamma to smad2/3 occurs in hematopoietic, mesenchymal, and epithelial cell types in response to tgfbeta. In human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, where tgfbeta inhibits proliferation and stimulates erythroid differentiation, tif1gamma mediates the differentiation response while smad4 mediates the antiproliferative response with smad2/3 participating in both responses."
