Actin associates with actively elongating genes and binds directly to the Cdk9 subunit of P-TEFb

S. Kyheroinen, B. Prajapati, M. Sokolova, M. Schmitz, M. Geyer, M. K. Vartiainen

This study identifies a direct interaction between actin and Cdk9 in P-TEFb, showing actin binds to actively elongating genes and inhibits polymerization during transcription.

Regulation of nuclear actin levels and MRTF/SRF target gene expression during PC6.3 cell differentiation

S. Kyheroinen, A. Hyrskyluoto, M. Sokolova, M. K. Vartiainen

This study shows that nuclear actin levels increase during PC6.3 cell differentiation, leading to reduced MRTF-A nuclear localization and downregulation of MRTF/SRF target genes.

Lamina-associated polypeptide 2α is required for intranuclear MRTF-A activity

E. Sidorenko, M. Sokolova, A. Pennanen, S. Kyheroinen, G. Posern, R. Foisner, M. Vartiainen

This study identifies Lap2 as a novel regulator of MRTF-A activity, showing it is required for efficient expression of MRTF-A/SRF target genes and serum-induced cell migration.

Nuclear actin is required for transcription during Drosophila oogenesis

M. Sokolova, H. M. Moore, B. Prajapati, J. Dopie, L. Merilainen, M. Honkanen, R. Cerejeira Matos, M. Poukkula, V. Hietakangas, M. Vartiainen

This study shows actin interacts with transcribed genes and Pol II in Drosophila, and its nuclear shuttling is essential for egg shell gene expression.
