Abstract
Background: EAF2 plays an important role in affecting cellular processes, but the mechanisms underlying its effects are poorly understood. Results: EAF2 was identified as a novel repressor of TGF-β signaling through a direct interaction with Smad3. Conclusion: EAF2 specifically interacts with Smad3 to prevent Smad3 nuclear translocation, Smad4-Smad3 complex formation, and p300-Smad3 complex formation. Significance: EAF2 may function by inhibiting TGF-β signaling.
