| abstractText | Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L3 (Uch-L3), a deubiquitinating enzyme, is upregulated in bone morphogenetic protein 2-induced osteoblast differentiation. The mechanism and role of Uch-L3 in the process of osteoblast differentiation is unknown. We found that Uch-L3 physically interacts with Smad1 and dramatically decreases the amount of poly-ubiquitinated Smad1. Osteoblast differentiation was enhanced in the C2C12 cells stably transfected with Uch-L3. Otherwise, the siRNA knock-down of Uch-L3 resulted in the decrease of osteoblast differentiation. These results suggest that Uch-L3 enhances osteoblast differentiation through the stabilization of Smad1 signaling. Thus, Uch-L3 acts to fine-tune the process of Smad1 activation.
