Three Smad transcriptional co-repressors, namely Ski (Sloan-Kettering Institute proto-oncogene), SnoN (Ski-related novel gene, non Alu-containing), and TGIF (TG-interacting factor), have been identified (25,27–29).
They exert transcriptional repression by numerous mechanisms (30–33).
Clearly, Smad transcriptional co-repressors are unique regulatory components within the nuclei during the final stage of TGF-1 signaling; hence, their abundance and activity allow the cell to make the decision whether to proceed with the transcription of TGF-1–responsive genes.
However, despite the obvious importance of Smad transcriptional co-repressors in controlling TGF-1 signaling, the regulation and relative significance of their expression in fibrotic kidney are completely unknown.
SKI is an 80-90 kD member of the SKI family of oncoproteins.
SKI is best known for inhibiting TGF-β signaling through its association with the SMAD proteins.
Human SKI is 728 aa long and contains an N-terminal Cys-rich region (aa 94-192) and a C-terminal coiled-coil oligomerization domain (aa 536-710).
Over the region used as immunogen, human and mouse SKI protein sequences are 96% identical.
The Ski and Sno proteins are components of a macromolecular complex containing the co-repressor N-CoR/SMRT, mSin3 and histone deacetylase.
The complex mediates repression by a number of nuclear hormone receptors and Mad, and MeCP2.
In addition, Ski and Sno can render cells resistant to TGF-beta by binding to Smads.
Ski (v-ski) was discovered as a viral oncogene from the genome of avian Sloan-Kettering retrovirus.
Overexpression of both v-ski and cellular homolog c-ski in avian fibroblasts leads to anchorage-independent growth and morphological transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts.
Overexpression of c-ski has also been observed in several types of human cancer cells.
New results show that Ski associates with Smads2, 3 and 4 proteins in response to TGF-β stimulation.
Interactions between Ski and Smad2, 3 and 4 blocks Smads-mediated transcriptional activation as well as TGF-β-induced growth suppression of epithelial cells, suggesting oncogenic effects of Ski derive in part through its ability to antagonize the growth-inhibitory signals initiated by members of the TGF-β family of ligands.
Ski is also required for transcriptional repression mediated by Mad involved in negative regulation of cellular proliferation and plays a role in muscle differentiation.Ski (v-ski) was discovered as a viral oncogene from the genome of avian Sloan-Kettering retrovirus.
