| DOC_WW_Pin1_4 | SMAD3_HUMAN | 176 | 181 | Specificity | Altered binding specificity | CDK8/9 phosphorylates Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (SMAD3) at T179 and S208. Phosphorylation of T179 creates a binding site for the WW domain of Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1), while phosphorylation of S208 primes SMAD3 for phosphorylation of S204 by Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK3B). The pS204-pS208 forms a binding site for the third WW domain of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4-like (NEDD4L), whose second WW domain will displace the WW domain of PIN1 at the pT179-PY box site of SMAD3. This regulation couples SMAD3 activation to SMAD3 destruction in an ordered fashion. See also switch details and switch details. | Curated | |
