    Smad 1 degradation is less efficient in Flnb −/− -transfected MEFs due to FLNB interaction with i-Smads. a Western blots of Flnb +/+ and Flnb –/– MEF lysates nontransfected or transfected with Smad 1-Flag plasmid, ubiquitin-HA plasmid, or both. Blots were probed using antibodies against Flag, HA, and Actin. b Quantification of total Smad 1-Flag levels in Flnb +/+ versus Flnb –/– MEFs normalized to actin levels. The results show that more Smad 1-Flag plasmid remained after transfection and that the 24-h recovery period indicated inefficient degradation in the absence of FLNB. c Quantification of total Smad 1-Flag levels in Flnb +/+ versus Flnb –/– MEFs transfected with ubiquitin normalized to both Actin levels and Smad 1-Flag levels without ubiquitin transfection. The results again show that more Smad 1-Flag plasmid remained after ubiquitin transfection, indicating a lower efficiency in ubiquitinated degradation in the absence of FLNB. n = 3, * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001. d Western blots of lysates isolated from wild-type MEFs transfected with FLNB-GFP and Smad 1-Flag plasmids immunoprecipitated using an antibody against GFP. FLNB western blot was probed using a GFP antibody, and Smad 1 western blot was probed using a Flag antibody. The results showed the detection of Smad 1-Flag protein when lysates were immunoprecipitated using a GFP antibody, confirming the in vitro interaction of FLNB and Smad 1. e Western blots of lysates isolated from wild-type MEFs transfected with FLNB-GFP and Smad 6-HA plasmids immunoprecipitated using an antibody against GFP. The results showed the detection of Smad 6-HA protein when lysates were immunoprecipitated using a GFP antibody, confirming the in vitro interaction of FLNB and Smad 6. f Western blots of lysates isolated from wild-type MEFs transfected with FLNB-GFP and Smad 7-HA plasmids immunoprecipitated using an antibody against GFP. The results showed the detection of Smad 7-HA protein when lysates were immunoprecipitated using a GFP antibody, confirming the in vitro interaction of FLNB and Smad 7. n = 3, WCL Whole Cell Lysate, IP Immunoprecipitate

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Smad 1 degradation is less efficient in Flnb −/− -transfected MEFs due to FLNB interaction with i-Smads. a Western blots of Flnb +/+ and Flnb –/– MEF lysates nontransfected or transfected with Smad 1-Flag plasmid, ubiquitin-HA plasmid, or both. Blots were probed using antibodies against Flag, HA, and Actin. b Quantification of total Smad 1-Flag levels in Flnb +/+ versus Flnb –/– MEFs normalized to actin levels. The results show that more Smad 1-Flag plasmid remained after transfection and that the 24-h recovery period indicated inefficient degradation in the absence of FLNB. c Quantification of total Smad 1-Flag levels in Flnb +/+ versus Flnb –/– MEFs transfected with ubiquitin normalized to both Actin levels and Smad 1-Flag levels without ubiquitin transfection. The results again show that more Smad 1-Flag plasmid remained after ubiquitin transfection, indicating a lower efficiency in ubiquitinated degradation in the absence of FLNB. n = 3, * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001. d Western blots of lysates isolated from wild-type MEFs transfected with FLNB-GFP and Smad 1-Flag plasmids immunoprecipitated using an antibody against GFP. FLNB western blot was probed using a GFP antibody, and Smad 1 western blot was probed using a Flag antibody.

    FLNB stabilizes i-Smad and Smad1 binding, inducing Smad1 degradation. Our model illustrates that under wild-type conditions ( a ), the Smad1 linker region is phosphorylated by TGFβ-activated ERK, which tags the molecule for degradation through the recruitment of Smad6, whose interaction with Smad1 is stabilized by FLNB. In the absence of FLNB ( b ), linker phosphorylated Smad1 is degraded less efficiently and allowed to induce increased transcription of nuclear targets
