The protein complex of dimeric TGF-beta-1 with the type II receptor dimer (dimeric TGFB1:TGFBR2 homodimer) recruits the low affinity receptor, type I receptor (TGFBR1), thus forming a hetero-tetrameric receptor bound to the dimeric ligand on the extracellular face of the plasma membrane (TGFB1:TGFBR2:TGFBR1) (Wrana et al. 1992, Moustakas et al. 1993, Franzen et al. 1993). FKBP1A (FKBP12), a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, forms a complex with TGFBR1 and prevents phosphorylation of TGFBR1 by TGFBR2 in the absence of ligand. FKBP1A dissociates from TGFBR1 after it forms a complex with ligand-activated TGFBR2 (Chen et al. 1997). TGFBR1 can homodimerize in the absence of TGFB1 when overexpressed, but under physiological conditions it exists as a monomer on the surface of unstimulated cells. TGFB1-induced dimerization of TGFBR1 is TGFBR2-dependent (Zhang et al. 2010).
