Actin-mediated gene expression depends on RhoA and Rac1 signaling in proximal tubular epithelial cells.

Morphological alterations of cells can lead to modulation of gene expression. An essential link is the MKL1-dependent activation of serum response factor (SRF), which translates changes in the ratio of G- and F-actin into mRNA transcription. SRF activation is only partially characterized in non-tran...
