-Unphosphorylated Smad proteins exist primarily as monomers
-Upon phosphorylation, R-Smads form homo-oligomers, which quickly convert to hetero-oligomers containing Smad4
PMID:11170475
Phosphorylated C-ter tail of R-Smads interacts specifically with the L3 loop of another Smad, which is sufficient to cause their oligomerization
PMID:9865696
Phosphorylation of Smad2 induces dissociation from SARA
with concomitant formation of Smad2/ Smad4 complexes
and nuclear translocation.
PMID:8893010
All mammalian R-Smads and Smad4 reside in the cytoplasm
Phosphorylated R-Smads quickly form complexes with Smad4 and possibly prior to nuclear translocation
PMID:9389648
Nuclear translocation of R-Smads is independent of Smad4
Whereas translocation of Smad4 after TGFB siglaing seems to require the presence of an activated R-SmadPMID:20731704
PMID:21317430
In NMuMG cells treated with TGFB1 Snail1 RNA and protein are induced 1 h after addition of the cytokine preceding Zeb1 up-regulation that requires 6???8 h.
Zeb1 gene expression is caused by increased RNA levels but also by enhanced protein stability and is markedly dependent on Snail1 because depletion of this protein prevents Zeb1 protein and RNA up-regulation
PMID:22406545
TGFB can activate both SNAI1 and SNAI2 and thus promote EMT via both SMAD-dependent and -independent pathways

Negative feedback by SNAI1 itself

KLF8 directly bound to the promotor of Snail and repressed Snail expression
PMID:17563753
Snail promoter is regulated positively by NFkB_p65

HMGA2 directly binds to the SNAIL1 promoter and acts as a transcriptional regulator of SNAIL1 expression.
HMGA2 cooperates with SMAD3 and SMAD4 to execute a dramatic super-induction of the SNAIL1 promoter.
Same results were obtained with SNAI2, ZEB1, ZEB2 and TWIST1
HMGA2 cooperates with TGFB1 signaling to represse ID2 transcriptomal expression

Activation of Slug (SNAI2) by two mechanisms:
-transcriptional activation of Slug by the CTNNB1and TCF/LEF complex
-activation of the ERK pathway.
When adherens junctions are established in dense cultures, ErbB1/2 and the ERK pathway become inactive, CTNNB1 is localized at adherens junctions, Slug expression is reduced, and E-cadherin transcription is induced.
Antibody-mediated disruption of adherens junctions led to nuclear CTNNB1 localization and enhanced beta-catenin signaling, induction of Slug and inhibition of E-cadherin expression.

Snail1 induces Snail2 transcription.
Snail is able to induce the expression of Slug and all other neural crest markers (Zic5, FoxD3, Twist and Ets1)
PMID:16510505
Snail2 activates the Snail2 promoter
PMID:21199805
Twist1 binds to an E-box on the proximate Snail2 promoter to induce its transcription.
PMID:17550342
Activation of KIT by binding to KITLG induces SNAI2 expression

TCF8 (ZEB1) is up-regulated in endothelial cells during angiogenesis, acting as a negative regulator.
Snail1 controls Zeb1 expression at multiple levels and acts cooperatively with Twist in the ZEB1 gene transcription induction

TWIST is a downstream target of HIF-1
Hypoxia or HIF-1 induces EMT through the direct activation of TWIST expression
PMID:19412634
Twist is a target of Snail1
PMID:22945800
Expression of Twist1 and Snail1 are mutually dependent
Knock-down of Snail1 downregulates Twist1 protein and mRNA
Knock- down of Twist1 interferes with TGFb-mediated induction of Snail1.
PMID:22006115
Alternatively, it has also been reported that Snail1 transcriptionally represses Twist1
PMID:17403902
Twist1 is a direct downstream target of NKFB.

TGFB can activate ATF3 transcription via direct binding of Smad proteins to the ATF3 promoter.
Then Smad3, Smad4, and ATF3 Bind to the Id1 Promoter in Response to TGFB
