Background
Activin RIA, also known as ALK-2, TSK-7L, SKR1, TSR-I, and ACTR-I, is a glycosylated 65 kDa type I receptor in the TGF-beta serine/threonine kinase receptor family (1-3). Binding of TGF-beta superfamily ligands induces formation of a heterotetrameric complex that contains two chains each of a type I and a type II receptor in multiple combinations. The type II receptors phosphorylate the type I receptors which then phosphorylate and activate Smad signal transduction proteins (1, 2). Activin RIA functions in a wide variety of growth and differentiation processes including gastrulation, skeletal system development, and cardiac morphogenesis (1 4‑7). Mature mouse Activin RIA consists of a 103 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 23 aa transmembrane segment, and a 363 aa cytoplasmic region that includes a Gly/Ser-rich GS box and the kinase domain (8). Within the ECD, mouse Activin RIA shares 99% and 93% aa sequence identity with human and rat Activin RIA, respectively. It shares 24%-26% aa sequence identity with other mouse type I receptors Activin RIB, BMPR-IA, BMPR-IB, and TGF-beta RI. BMP signaling through Activin RIA is enhanced by the direct interaction between Activin RIA and RGM-B/DRAGON, a BMP coreceptor that also associates with other type I and type II receptors (9). Activin RIA can additionally phosphorylate the co‑receptor Endoglin and blocks the inhibitory effect of Endoglin on prostate cancer cell motility (10).
