Leiomodin 1, a new serum response factor-dependent target gene expressed preferentially in differentiated smooth muscle cells.
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation is defined largely by a number of cell-restricted genes governed directly by the serum response factor (SRF)/myocardin (MYOCD) transcriptional switch. Here, we describe a new SRF/MYOCD-dependent, SMC-restricted gene known as Leiomodin 1 (Lmod1). Conventional and quantitative RT-PCRs indicate that Lmod1 mRNA expression is enriched in SMC-containing tissue...
متن کاملSerum Response Factor Mediates NGF-Dependent Target Innervation by Embryonic DRG Sensory Neurons
Serum response factor (SRF) is a prototypic transcription factor that mediates stimulus-dependent gene expression. Here, we show that SRF mediates NGF signaling, axonal growth, branching, and target innervation by embryonic DRG sensory neurons. Conditional deletion of the murine SRF gene in DRGs results in no deficits in neuronal viability or differentiation but causes defects in extension and ...
متن کاملPKA-dependent phosphorylation of serum response factor inhibits smooth muscle-specific gene expression.
OBJECTIVE Our goal was to identify phosphorylation sites that regulate serum response factor (SRF) activity to gain a better understanding of the signaling mechanisms that regulate SRF's involvement in smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific and early response gene expression. METHODS AND RESULTS By screening phosphorylation-deficient and mimetic mutations in SRF(-/-) embryonic stem cells, we ident...
متن کاملA nuclear actin function regulates neuronal motility by serum response factor-dependent gene transcription.
Neuronal motility relies on actin treadmilling. In addition to regulating cytoskeletal dynamics in the cytoplasm, actin modulates nuclear gene expression. We present a hitherto unappreciated cross talk of actin signaling with gene expression governing neuronal motility. Toward this end, we used a novel approach using mutant actins either favoring (G15S) or inhibiting (R62D) F-actin assembly. Ov...
متن کاملAtypical Pityriasis Rosea with a Target-Shape Herald Patch
Pityriasis rosea (PR) is an acute, self-limiting papulosquamous exanthem. A number of atypical variants of PR, regarding morphology and distribution of the lesions or severity of the symptoms, may be observed. Herein, we present the first case of atypical PR with hypopigmented lesions and a target-shape herald patch.
