Ubiquitinated SMAD2 undergoes proteasome-dependent degradation. Therefore, SMURF2 decreases the level of SMAD2 in the cell, irrespective of TGF-beta signaling, and may regulate the competence of a cell to respond to TGF-beta signaling (Zhang et al. 2001). These findings are contradicted by a recent study of Smurf2 knockout mice, where Smad2 protein levels were found to be unaltered in the absence of Smurf2 (Tang et al. 2011).
