SMURF1/2 are novel regulators of WNK1 stability
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Angiogenesis is essential for remodeling and repairing existing vessels, and this process requires signaling pathways including those controlled by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). We have previously reported crosstalk between TGF-β and the protein kinase With No lysine (K) 1 (WNK1). Homozygous disruption of the gene encoding WNK1 results in lethality in mice near embryonic day E12 due to impaired angiogenesis and this defect can be rescued by endothelial-specific expression of an activated form of the WNK1 substrate kinase Oxidative Stress-Responsive 1 (OSR1). However, molecular processes regulated via a collaboration between TGF-β and WNK1/OSR1 are not well understood. Here we show that WNK1 interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligases SMURF1/2. In addition, we discovered that WNK1 regulates SMURF1/2 protein stability and vice versa. We also demonstrate that WNK1 activity regulates TGF-β receptor levels, in turn, controlling TGF-β signaling.
