Mutant Actins Demonstrate a Role for Unpolymerized Actin in Control of Transcription by Serum Response Factor
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Signal-induced activation of the transcription factor serum response factor (SRF) requires alterations in actin dynamics. SRF activity can be inhibited by ectopic expression of beta-actin, either because actin itself participates in SRF regulation or as a consequence of cytoskeletal perturbations. To distinguish between these possibilities, we studied actin mutants. Three mutant actins, G13R, R62D, and a...
