Abstract excerpt
WAVE2 is a member of the WASP/WAVE family of protein effectors of actin reorganization and cell movement. In this report, we demonstrate that WAVE2 overexpression induces serum response element (SRE) activation through serum response factor. A WAVE2 mutant lacking the VCA region did not induce SRE activation and actin polymerization. WAVE2-induced SRE activation was blocked by exposure of cells to Latrunculin A,...
