The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptor interacting protein TRIP-1 was originally identified as a WD40 repeat-containing protein that has the ability to associate with the TGF-beta type II receptor and is phosphorylated by it (1). However, its function was not known. We now show that TRIP-1 expression represses the ability of TGF-beta to induce transcription from the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 promoter, a common reporter of the TGF-beta-induced gene expression response, but does not affect the ability of TGF-beta to inhibit cyclin A transcription. TRIP-1 can also inhibit the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 expression induced by Smads as well as activated TGF-beta type I receptors. Its inhibitory effect is exerted by a combination of receptor-dependent and receptor-independent mechanisms. Deletion mutational analysis revealed that two distinct regions, which do not contain recognizable WD40 repeats, are required for the ability of TRIP-1 to inhibit the gene expression response. Expression of other segments of TRIP-1 increased the TGF-beta-induced gene expression response and therefore may exert a dominant negative phenotype. We conclude that TRIP-1 acts as a modulator of the TGF-beta response.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
