physiological function | methyltransferase Set9 potentiates TGF-beta signaling by targeting Smad7, an inhibitory downstream effector. Smad7 methylation promotes interaction with the E3 ligase Arkadia and, thus, ubiquitination-dependent degradation. Depletion or pharmacological inhibition of Set9 results in elevated Smad7 protein levels and inhibits TGF-beta-dependent expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix components. Lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin or Ad-TGF-beta treatment is highly compromised in Set9-deficient mice | Mus musculus |
