ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns the TGF-.beta. receptor-mediated signaling pathway. The invention is based on the unexpected finding that TGF-.beta. receptor-mediated signaling is inhibited by the cytoplasmic interactor FKBP12. The invention further concerns methods and pharmaceutical compositions for enhancing cellular response to TGF-.beta. ligands. A screening assay is also provided for identifying macrolide potentiators capable of binding FKBP12 and thereby blocking FKBP12-inhibition of TGF-.beta. receptor-mediated signaling.
