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 (PubMed:12019265, PubMed:12732141, PubMed:17588931, PubMed:19350017, PubMed:24732378). 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 (PubMed:24732378). MRTFA binds G-actin via its RPEL repeats, regulating activity of the MRTFA-SRF complex (PubMed:12732141, PubMed:17588931). Activity is also regulated by filamentous actin (F-actin) in the nucleus (PubMed:23558171, PubMed:25759381). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus Note=Subcellular location is tightly regulated by actin both in cytoplasm and nucleus: high levels of G-actin in the nucleus observed during serum deprivation lead to low levels of nuclear MRTFA, while reduced levels of nuclear G-actin result in accumulation of MRTFA in the nucleus (PubMed:17588931, PubMed:21673315). G-actin-binding in the cytoplasm inhibits nuclear import by masking the nuclear localization signal (NLS) (PubMed:17588931, PubMed:21673315). In contrast, binding to nuclear globular actin (G-actin) promotes nuclear export to the cytoplasm (PubMed:17588931). Nuclear localization is regulated by MICAL2, which mediates depolymerization of nuclear actin, which decreases nuclear G-actin pool, thereby promoting retention of MRTFA in the nucleus and subsequent formation of an active complex with SRF (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q969V6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17588931, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21673315} |
