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

SMAD5 responds to intracellular pH (pHi) changes independent of BMP signaling: increased pHi (cold, basic, hypertonic conditions) causes dissociation of protons from charged amino acid clusters in the MH1 domain, prompting SMAD5 relocation from nucleus to cytoplasm; decreased pHi blocks nuclear export causing nuclear accumulation. Cytoplasmic SMAD5 physically interacts with hexokinase 1 and accelerates glycolysis; SMAD5 ablation causes chronic bioenergetic dysregulation that is rescued only by cytoplasmic SMAD5. |
