Inhibins are endogenous antagonists of activin
signaling, long recognized as important regulators of gonadal function
and pituitary FSH release. Inhibin, in concert with its co-receptor, betaglycan, can compete with activin for binding to type II activin receptors and, thus, prevent activin signaling. Because bone
morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) also utilize type II activin receptors,
we hypothesized that BMP signaling might also be sensitive to inhibin
blockade. Here we show that inhibin blocks cellular responses to
diverse BMP family members in a variety of BMP-responsive cell types. Inhibin abrogates BMP-induced Smad signaling and transcription responses. Inhibin competes with BMPs for type II activin receptors, and this competition is facilitated by betaglycan. Betaglycan also
enables inhibin to bind to and compete with BMPs for binding to the
BMP-specific type II receptor BMPRII, which does not bind inhibin in
the absence of betaglycan. Betaglycan can confer inhibin responsiveness
on cells that are otherwise insensitive to inhibin. These findings
demonstrate that inhibin, acting through betaglycan, can function as an
antagonist of BMP responses, suggesting a broader role for inhibin and
betaglycan in restricting and refining a wide spectrum of transforming
growth factor superfamily signals.
