Deskripsi

Smad transcription factors are part of the TGF-β signal transduction pathways and are recruited to the genome by cell lineage-defining factors. Here, the authors identify specific Smad binding GC-rich motifs and provide structural information showing Smad3 and Smad4 bound to these motifs.
