The canonical TGFB signalling pathway involves phosphorylation of the carboxy-terminal serine residue of the internal modulator SMAD proteins, SMAD2 or SMAD3, by the activated receptors. This phosphorylation induces oligomerization of SMAD2 or SMAD3 with SMAD4, which is necessary for nuclear translocation.

TGF-beta utilizes SMAD3 to inhibit CD16-mediated IFN-gamma production and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in human NK cells.
SMAD3 downstream of TGFB inhibits expression TBX21 (T-BET). TBX21 is involeved in IFNG gene activation.
PMID:16713975
TGF-?? signaling could target IFNG gene expression via TBX21 (TBET) and in a SMAD-dependent fashion that is independent of T-BET.
SMAD3 can directly interact with IFNG promoter.

Inhibition of TGF-?? signalinginduced phenotypic maturation of BM-DCs and human DCs and improved their abilities to produce IL-12 in a dose-dependent manner via SMADs.

Smad2/3 inhibited IFN-?? production by suppressing IRF3 transcriptional activity.
Smad2/3 somehow suppresses IRF3 phosphorylation in macrophages
Smad2 and Smad3 negatively regulate iNOS induction in macrophages by suppressing multiple steps in the IRF3-IFN-??-STAT1 pathway
TGF-?? exerts its biological effects by binding to a cell surface receptor complex composed of type I (TbRI) and type II (TbRII) receptor serine/threonine kinases. Upon ligand binding TbRII phosphorylates and activates TbRI which subsequently phosphorylates the cytoplasmic Smad2 and Smad3 proteins. Phosphorylated Smad proteins form stable complexes with a common partner Smad4. The activated Smad2/4 and Smad3/4 complexes translocate into the nucleus where the Smad oligomers induce transcriptional activation (or inhibition) of specific target genes.

Erk kinases phosphorylate Smad2 and Smad3 at specific sites in the region linking the DNA-binding domain and the transcriptional activation domain.
These sites are separate from the TGFB receptor phosphorylation sites that activate Smad nuclear translocation.
Feedback loop: TGFB activates Ras/Raf/Mek/Erk signaling (PMID:17673906) and Erk reduces TGFB/Smads transcriptional activity.
PMID:15241418
Feedback loop
CDK phosphorylation of Smad3 on Thr8/Thr179/Ser213 inhibits its transcriptional activity and antiproliferative function.
Because cancer cells often contain high levels of CDK activity, diminishing Smad3 activity by CDK phosphorylation may contribute to tumorigenesis and TGFB- resistance in
cancers.
