BMP-2 causes serine phosphorylation of SMAD5 via direct physical association with BMP type Ia or Ib receptors; following phosphorylation, SMAD5 binds to DPC4 (SMAD4) and the complex translocates to the nucleus. A point mutant SMAD5 (G419S) or C-terminal deletion of DPC4 blocked BMP-2-induced osteoblastic differentiation of C2C12 cells. |

SMAD5 responds to intracellular pH (pHi) changes: increased pHi (cold, basic, hypertonic conditions) promotes proton dissociation from charged clusters in the MH1 domain, driving nuclear-to-cytoplasmic relocalization; decreased pHi blocks nuclear export causing nuclear accumulation. This nucleocytoplasmic shuttling is independent of BMP signaling, C-terminal phosphorylation, and Smad4. Cytoplasmic SMAD5 physically interacts with hexokinase 1 and accelerates glycolysis; ablation of SMAD5 causes dysregulation of bioenergetic homeostasis. |
