Gene Description

TGFBR3 (betaglycan) is a single-pass type I transmembrane proteoglycan and the most abundant TGF-beta binding protein at the cell surface. Its large ectodomain, comprising an endoglin-like N-terminal region and a zona pellucida (ZP) domain and substituted with heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate chains, binds all three TGF-beta isoforms (with highest affinity for TGF-beta2), inhibins, and several BMPs and GDF5. Lacking any kinase domain, it acts as a coreceptor: it presents TGF-beta to the type II receptor TGFBR2 and promotes assembly of the TGFBR2-TGFBR1 signaling complex, forms the high-affinity inhibin receptor together with ActRII (allowing inhibin to antagonize activin signaling, e.g. FSH suppression in pituitary gonadotropes), and enhances BMP signaling through ALK3 and ALK6. The short cytoplasmic tail is phosphorylated by TGFBR2 at Thr841, which recruits beta-arrestin 2 to drive endocytosis of TGFBR3 with its partner receptors; a C-terminal class I PDZ motif binds GIPC1, stabilizing TGFBR3 at the surface. Through beta-arrestin 2, TGFBR3 also has ligand-independent activities, activating Cdc42 to restrain epithelial cell migration, inhibiting NF-kappaB signaling and regulating integrin alpha5beta1 trafficking and adhesion to fibronectin. Ectodomain shedding by membrane-type MMPs releases a soluble form into serum and extracellular matrix that sequesters TGF-beta. In mouse, Tgfbr3 is essential for embryonic development, being required in epicardial cells for EMT and invasion that underlie coronary vessel formation. TGFBR3 expression is frequently lost in human cancers, where it behaves as a suppressor of migration and invasion.

IEA
GO_REF:0000107
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Ensembl Compara transfer from rat betaglycan of a response-to-hypoxia annotation.
Reason: Response terms of this kind are typically based on altered expression of the rodent gene under hypoxia; they describe TGFBR3 as a regulated readout rather than a participant in the cellular response. No human evidence for a hypoxia role was found, and it does not reflect the coreceptor function of the protein.
GO:0001837 epithelial to mesenchymal transition
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (IBA). Betaglycan is required for TGF-beta2- and BMP2-driven endocardial and epicardial EMT and invasion; the IBA comes from PAINT node PTN002678643 (Euteleostomi TGFBR3 clade), seeded by the human IDA.
Reason: TGFBR3 does part of the work of EMT in these settings: as the ligand-binding coreceptor that initiates TGF-beta2/BMP2 signaling into the Par6/Smurf1/RhoA pathway, and via its GIPC-binding cytoplasmic tail. EMT is a context-specific cellular outcome (cardiac cushion and epicardium) rather than the core molecular role, so it is retained as non-core. Note that in carcinoma cells TGFBR3 overexpression instead suppresses EMT, reinforcing that the direction is context-dependent.

ISS
GO_REF:0000024
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: ISS transfer from mouse Tgfbr3 (O88393) of liver development, based on the knockout phenotype.
Reason: Tgfbr3-null mouse embryos show hepatocyte apoptosis and liver defects, but this is a downstream organismal phenotype of global loss of a TGF-beta2 coreceptor; no study shows TGFBR3 carrying out a step of liver development. Per the curation rules for this project, knockout phenotypes alone do not establish process participation.

Summary: ISS transfer from chicken TGFBR3 (Q90998) of heart morphogenesis.
Reason: The chicken and mouse orthologs (same PANTHER subfamily PTHR14002:SF7 and PAINT clade PTN002678643) mediate TGF-beta2/BMP2 responses in endocardial cushion and epicardial cells that remodel the heart; Tgfbr3-null mice die with heart defects. The protein contributes as the signaling coreceptor in cardiac cell types, so a broad heart-morphogenesis term is defensible as non-core, but it is not a heart-specific function.

Summary: ISS transfer from mouse Tgfbr3 (O88393) of muscular septum morphogenesis, derived from Tgfbr3-null embryo cardiac phenotypes.
Reason: Tgfbr3-null embryos have thin compact myocardium, reduced proliferation and septal/trabecular abnormalities, but these are secondary consequences of failed epicardial invasion and coronary vessel formation in a global knockout. TGFBR3 acts in epicardial and endocardial cells as a TGF-beta/BMP coreceptor; it is not shown to perform a step of myocardial or septal morphogenesis itself. Fine-grained organismal phenotypes are not transferred as process participation.

Summary: IDA from Kirkbride et al. 2008 showing that betaglycan binds BMPs and enhances BMP signaling.
Reason: TGFBR3 has no kinase or other signaling domain of its own; it binds BMPs and enhances ligand binding to the BMP type I receptors, which transduce the signal. This is coreceptor activity rather than an autonomous transmembrane signaling receptor activity, so the more accurate term is coreceptor activity (already carried by IDA for inhibin).

REMOVE
Summary: Reactome TAS to cytosol, from the TGFBR3 translation / plasma-membrane translocation reactions.
Reason: TGFBR3 has an N-terminal signal peptide and a single type I transmembrane segment; it is synthesized into the secretory pathway and does not reside in the cytosol. The cytosol compartment is an artifact of how the Reactome reactions model translation and trafficking.

GO:0016477 cell migration
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Cell migration (IBA; donor chicken Q90998).
Reason: TGFBR3 contributes to migration/invasion of cardiac mesenchymal and epicardial cells (via GIPC binding and the Par6/Smurf1/RhoA pathway), and in epithelial cells it restrains random migration via beta-arrestin2/Cdc42. Its role is regulatory and context-specific rather than a core migratory machinery role, so non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:21871877
Expression of TGFΞ²R3 missing the 3 C-terminal amino acids that are required to interact with the scaffolding protein GIPC1 did not rescue any of the deficits
PMID:22237159

GO:0017015 regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Regulation of TGF-beta receptor signaling pathway (IBA from PTN002678643).
Reason: TGFBR3 both enhances (ligand presentation, GIPC-stabilized surface expression) and attenuates (beta-arrestin2 endocytosis, soluble ectodomain sequestration) TGF-beta signaling. The neutral regulation term at the PAINT node is a good summary.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11546783
increased expression of the type III receptor is sufficient to enhance TGF-beta signaling
PMID:12958365
Association with betaarr2 led to internalization of both receptors and down-regulation of TGF-beta signaling
GO:0017134 fibroblast growth factor binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: FGF binding (IEA from rat).
Reason: Betaglycan binds FGF2 through its heparan sulfate chains and TGFBR3 loss reduces FGF2 responsiveness of epicardial cells; Reactome also models FGF2:TGFBR3 binding. Real but peripheral to the TGF-beta superfamily coreceptor role.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:21871877
Unexpectedly, loss of TGFΞ²R3 also decreases responsiveness to two other important regulators of epicardial cell behavior, FGF2 and HMW-HA
GO:0030165 PDZ domain binding
ISS
GO_REF:0000024

Summary: PDZ domain binding (ISS from mouse).
Reason: Directly supported in human: the C-terminal class I PDZ motif of TGFBR3 binds the PDZ domain of GIPC1, regulating its surface level and signaling; the same interaction is required for TGFBR3 function in mouse epicardial cells.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11546783
GIPC binds a Class I PDZ binding motif in the cytoplasmic domain of the type III receptor

Summary: Negative regulation of cell migration (IDA, overexpression in tongue carcinoma cells).
Reason: Well supported in human epithelial and cancer cells: TGFBR3, through beta-arrestin2, activates Cdc42 and inhibits random migration, a TGF-beta-independent activity. A genuine, TGF-beta-independent function of the beta-arrestin2-binding cytoplasmic tail.

Summary: BMP signaling pathway (IDA).
Reason: TGFBR3 binds BMP2/4/7 and GDF5, enhances ligand binding to BMP type I receptors and is required for full BMP-induced Smad1 phosphorylation; it differentially regulates ALK3 and ALK6 signaling.
Supporting Evidence:

IEA
GO_REF:0000107
ACCEPT
Summary: Negative regulation of TGF-beta receptor signaling (IEA from rat).
Reason: beta-arrestin2-mediated internalization of TGFBR3 with TGFBR2 down-regulates TGF-beta signaling, and the shed soluble ectodomain sequesters TGF-beta. The bidirectional regulation is context-dependent rather than contradictory.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:12958365

Summary: Response to follicle-stimulating hormone (IDA): betaglycan mRNA rises in FSH-treated human granulosa-luteal cells.
Reason: This is an expression response; TGFBR3 is a regulated target of gonadotropin signaling in the ovary, relevant to its inhibin coreceptor role there, but not a function of the protein.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Intracellular signal transduction (IMP) from Liu et al. 2003.
Reason: The abstract shows that betaglycan mRNA is induced by gonadotropins and PGE2 probably via protein kinase A; TGFBR3 is the transcriptional readout of the PKA pathway, not a participant in intracellular signal transduction. Without the full text this is treated as over-annotation rather than removed.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Negative regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction (IDA, tongue carcinoma cells).
Reason: Independently shown in breast epithelial cells: TGFBR3 via beta-arrestin2 reduces NF-kappaB transcriptional activation and IkappaBalpha degradation, and the T841A mutant that cannot bind beta-arrestin2 is inactive. Genuine but secondary.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:29130787

UNDECIDED
Summary: SMAD binding (IMP) from Rotzer et al. 2001.
Reason: An IMP is an unusual basis for a binding term, and the cached abstract concerns TbetaRII-B signaling independently of TbetaRIII. No direct SMAD binding by betaglycan, which has a short cytoplasmic tail without known SMAD-binding motifs, was found. Without the full text this cannot be adjudicated.

GO:0048185 activin binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
MODIFY
Summary: Activin binding (IEA from rat betaglycan).
Reason: Betaglycan is a high-affinity inhibin (alpha-beta) receptor and mediates inhibin antagonism of activin; it is not an activin receptor. The rat-derived activin binding term most likely reflects inhibin binding. The specific supported term is inhibin complex binding.
Proposed replacements: inhibin complex binding
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10746731
Betaglycan binds inhibin with high affinity and enhances binding in cells co-expressing ActRII and betaglycan

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Negative regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction (IMP, atrial fibroblasts).
Reason: TGFBR3 knockdown increased Smad3 phosphorylation and nuclear accumulation in human atrial fibroblasts, consistent with the known attenuation of TGF-beta1/Smad3 signaling by TGFBR3 in some contexts. Coexists with positive regulation of Smad1 signaling in the same cells; context-dependent and secondary.

GO:0060412 ventricular septum morphogenesis
ISS
GO_REF:0000024
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: ISS transfer from mouse Tgfbr3 (O88393) of ventricular septum morphogenesis, derived from Tgfbr3-null embryo cardiac phenotypes.
Reason: Tgfbr3-null embryos have thin compact myocardium, reduced proliferation and septal/trabecular abnormalities, but these are secondary consequences of failed epicardial invasion and coronary vessel formation in a global knockout. TGFBR3 acts in epicardial and endocardial cells as a TGF-beta/BMP coreceptor; it is not shown to perform a step of myocardial or septal morphogenesis itself. Fine-grained organismal phenotypes are not transferred as process participation.
Supporting Evidence:

ISS
GO_REF:0000024
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Vasculogenesis involved in coronary vascular morphogenesis (ISS from mouse).
Reason: The best-characterized developmental requirement of Tgfbr3: null mice fail to form coronary vessels. Mechanistically TGFBR3 acts in epicardial cells, mediating TGF-beta/BMP2-induced EMT and invasion that supply coronary vessel precursors, i.e. it does part of the work in epicardial cells. Kept as non-core and inferred from mouse, not shown in human.

Summary: Positive regulation of cell migration involved in sprouting angiogenesis (IMP, HUVEC knockdown).
Reason: The evidence is reduced wound-closure migration and tube formation of HUVECs after about 40% knockdown of TGFBR3 in a microRNA study. This supports an effect on endothelial migration in vitro, but the sprouting-angiogenesis-specific process is not directly tested and TGFBR3's role is as a coreceptor upstream of these responses.

As expected, knockdown of TGFBR3 decreased HUVEC migration

NEW
Summary: Betaglycan is the inhibin coreceptor that enables inhibin to antagonize activin signaling.
Reason: Participation test: TGFBR3 itself does the work, binding inhibin and forming the inhibin-betaglycan-ActRII complex that sequesters type II activin receptors; it is not merely a target or substrate. Betaglycan confers inhibin sensitivity to otherwise poorly responsive cells, and gonadotrope-specific Tgfbr3 knockout in mouse abolishes inhibin A suppression of FSH. This complements the accepted inhibin-betaglycan-ActRII complex and coreceptor activity annotations.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10746731
betaglycan, can function as an inhibin co-receptor with ActRII
PMID:10746731
betaglycan confers inhibin sensitivity to cell lines that otherwise respond poorly to this hormone

Core Functions

Cell surface type III TGF-beta receptor: binds TGF-beta isoforms (especially TGF-beta2) via its ectodomain and presents them to TGFBR2, promoting formation of the TGFBR2-TGFBR1 signaling complex and thereby TGF-beta/SMAD signaling. Experimentally established in human cells.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:11323414
    The type III receptor with the cytoplasmic domain deleted is able to bind TGF-beta, to bind the type II receptor, and to enhance TGF-beta binding to the type II receptor
  • PMID:11323414
    thus promoting the preferential formation of a complex between the autophosphorylated type II receptor and the type I receptor and then dissociating from this active signaling complex
  • PMID:11546783
    increased expression of the type III receptor is sufficient to enhance TGF-beta signaling

Inhibin coreceptor: binds inhibin with high affinity and forms the inhibin-betaglycan-ActRII complex, enabling inhibin to antagonize activin signaling (human cell lines; in vivo in mouse gonadotropes for inhibin A).

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:10746731
    betaglycan, can function as an inhibin co-receptor with ActRII
  • PMID:10746731
    Inhibin also forms crosslinked complexes with both recombinant and endogenously expressed betaglycan and ActRII
  • PMID:10746731
    betaglycan confers inhibin sensitivity to cell lines that otherwise respond poorly to this hormone
  • PMID:30364975
    TGFBR3 (betaglycan) functions as an inhibin A, but not an inhibin B, coreceptor in gonadotrope cells in vivo

BMP coreceptor: directly binds BMP2, BMP4, BMP7 and GDF5, enhances ligand binding to BMP type I receptors and differentially regulates ALK3 (surface retention) and ALK6 (beta-arrestin2-mediated internalization) signaling to SMAD1.

Molecular Function:
BMP binding

Cellular Locations:
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:18184661

  • PMID:18184661
    short hairpin RNA-mediated silencing of endogenous TbetaRIII attenuates BMP-mediated Smad1 phosphorylation
  • PMID:19726563
    TbetaRIII associated with ALK3 primarily through their extracellular domains

Beta-arrestin 2 adaptor function of the cytoplasmic tail: after TGFBR2 phosphorylation at Thr841, recruits beta-arrestin 2 to internalize TGFBR3 with partner receptors (down-regulating TGF-beta signaling) and, independently of ligand, to activate Cdc42 and inhibit epithelial cell migration and NF-kappaB signaling.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:12958365
    Binding of betaarr2 to TbetaRIII was also triggered by phosphorylation of the receptor on its cytoplasmic domain
  • PMID:12958365
    Association with betaarr2 led to internalization of both receptors and down-regulation of TGF-beta signaling
  • PMID:19416857
    TbetaRIII through its interaction with the scaffolding protein beta-arrestin2, activates Cdc42 and inhibits migration

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does the human TGFBR3 core protein bind glycosaminoglycans or heparin non-covalently, or do the existing glycosaminoglycan/heparin binding annotations (including the PAINT IBD at PTN002678643) reflect its covalent GAG substitution? If the latter, should the IBD be revisited?

Q: What experiments underlie the mouse NOT annotations to regulation of JNK and ERK1/2 cascades that were transferred by ISS to human TGFBR3, and are they valid in human cells?

Q: Is betaglycan required for inhibin action in human gonadotropes, given that in mouse it is needed for inhibin A but not inhibin B, with TGFBR3L acting as the inhibin B coreceptor?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: CRISPR knockout of TGFBR3 (and TGFBR3L) in human gonadotrope-like cells or pituitary organoids, measuring inhibin A and inhibin B suppression of activin-induced FSHB transcription.

Hypothesis: TGFBR3 is required for inhibin A-mediated suppression of FSH in human pituitary gonadotropes.

Type: genetic and cell-based assay

Experiment: Rescue of TGFBR3-null human epithelial cells with wild-type, T841A, PDZ-motif-deleted and ectodomain-only constructs, measuring Cdc42 activation, random migration and NF-kappaB activity.

Hypothesis: The ligand-independent anti-migratory function of TGFBR3 depends solely on beta-arrestin 2 binding via phospho-Thr841.

Type: structure-function cell biology
