Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; co-SMAD binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; imaginal disc morphogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription repressor complex and heteromeric SMAD protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; germline cell; imaginal disc; larval efferent neurons; and wing vein. Used to study juvenile polyposis syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human SMAD1 (SMAD family member 1); SMAD5 (SMAD family member 5); and SMAD9 (SMAD family member 9).

This report provides a genetic analysis of primary nociceptive neuron mechanisms that promote sensitization in response to injury. Drosophila melanogaster larvae whose primary nociceptive neurons were reduced in levels of specific components of the BMP signaling pathway, were injured and then tested for nocifensive responses to a normally subnoxious stimulus.

we identify key roles for the Zelda and Zerknullt transcription factors in establishing the resulting expression domain, and find widespread binding of insulator proteins to the Mad and Brinker-bound genomic regions. Analysis of embryos lacking the BEAF-32 insulator protein shows reduced transcription of a peak BMP target gene and a reduction in the number of amnioserosa cells, the fate specified by peak BMP signaling.
