Development 1997, 124:4467-4480.

Cell 1997, 89:1165-1173. The first paper demonstrating the existence of inhibitory Smads. It is found that over-expression of Smad7 effectively blocks Smad2 complexing with Smad4. The mechanism underlying this phenomenon was found to be the prevention of association of Smad2 with the type I receptors thereby interfering with its phosphorylation.

Nature 1997, 389:631-635. A finding that Smad7 is an inhibitory Smad that can block activin and TGF-β signaling through its interaction with the type I receptor. These authors also demonstrate that the expression of Smad7 is upregulated by TGF-β. suggesting an autoregulatory negative feedback loop to dampen TGF-ß signaling.

Demonstration that Smad6 is an inhibitory Smad which is specific for the BMP signaling pathway and blocks Smad1 phosphorylation. These results provide evidence that Smad6 functions by receptor interference but another study [31] provides evidence that Smad6 sequesters Smad4 into an inactive complex.

Cell 1997, 91:417-426. The authors show that the positive function of Tolloid protein in stimulating Dpp signaling is caused by Dpp signal depression via its inactivation with the Dpp inhibitor Sog. They also demonstrate that Tolloid protein directly cleaves Sog and that this cleavage requires Sog-Dpp complex formation.

These authors report the isolation of a zebrafish astacin family metalloprotease, zebrafish tolloid, that is struturally related to mouse and Drosophila tolloid proteins and Xenopus Xolloid. It is presently not clear whether this is a homolog of these genes or a family member. They further demonstrate that, like the situation in Xenopus and Drosphila, zebrafish tolloid can cleave chordin.
