SMURF1 (SMAD ubiquitin regulatory factor 1) is a negative regulator of TGF-beta signaling (1). SMURF1 and SMURF2 are members of HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligase which are involved in the enzymatic reactions of the Ub conjugating pathway (1,2). SMURF1 negatively regulates osteoblast activity and response to bone morphogenesis protein (BMP) through controlling MEKK2 degradation (3). SMURF1 has recently been shown to play a role in breast cancer cell migration and invasion through the downregulation of RhoA (4).1) Huibregtse JM, Scheffner M, Beaudenon S, et al.
