Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) coordinates a number of biological events important in normal and pathophysiological growth. In this study, deletion and substitution mutations were used to identify receptor motifs modulating TGF-β receptor activity. Initial experiments indicated that a COOH-terminal sequence between amino acids 482–491 in the kinase domain of the type I receptor was required for ligand-induced receptor signaling and down-regulation. These 10 amino acids are highly conserved in mammalian, Xenopus, andDrosophila type I receptors. Although mutation or deletion of the region (referred to as the NANDOR BOX, for nonactivating non–down-regulating) abolishes TGF-β–dependent mitogenesis, transcriptional activity, type I receptor phosphorylation, and down-regulation in mesenchymal cultures, adjacent mutations also within the kinase domain are without effect. Moreover, a kinase-defective type I receptor can functionally complement a mutant BOX expressing type I receptor, documenting that when the BOX mutant is activated, it has kinase activity. These results indicate that the sequence between 482 and 491 in the type I receptor provides a critical function regulating activation of the TGF-β receptor complex.
