  Effects of Smad on Xenopus Development
The effects of both of these signaling pathways are mediated by the SMAD family of signal transducing proteins, which include the Drosophila gene Mothers against dpp (Mad), sma-2, sma-3, and sma-4 from C.
Smad-2 and Smad-3 are involved in TGF-B receptor pathway transduction; whereas Smads 1 and 5 are utilized in the BMP pathway.
Phosphorylation of the serine residues at the carboxy terminal is thus essential to Smad activity, as it relieves autoinhibition by the N-terminal domain (1, 2, 3).

 Stopping smad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In the March 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Lan Xu and colleagues (UMASS Medical School) identify the long sought-after phosphatase for Smad in the BMP signal transduction pathway.
In organisms as diverse as worms, fruit flies and humans, the Smad family of intracellular messenger proteins are activated upon phosphorylation by TGFbeta and BMP signaling pathways.
Xu emphasizes that, "we are excited now that we have a new entry point to the bigger question of how BMP signals can be downregulated in various physiological contexts".
