| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitously expressed, has been detected in lung, placenta, small intestine, liver, kidney, spleen, thymus, colon, muscle, heart and brain. Expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (at protein level). |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation at Ser-6 by Erk inhibits binding of globular actin (G-actin), unmasking the nuclear localization signal (NLS) and promoting nuclear import. |
| Function | Transcription coactivator that associates with the serum response factor (SRF) transcription factor to control expression of genes regulating the cytoskeleton during development, morphogenesis and cell migration. The SRF-MRTFA complex activity responds to Rho GTPase-induced changes in cellular globular actin (G-actin) concentration, thereby coupling cytoskeletal gene expression to cytoskeletal dynamics. MRTFA binds G-actin via its RPEL repeats, regulating activity of the MRTFA-SRF complex. Activity is also regulated by filamentous actin (F-actin) in the nucleus. |
