Actin in transcription: Actin is required for transcription by all three RNA polymerases in the eukaryotic cell nucleus

N Visa - EMBO reports, 2005 - embopress.org
Actin is one of the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells. For many years, its presence
in the nucleus has been considered an artefact, and the validity of the many reports …

Nuclear myosin 1c facilitates the chromatin modifications required to activate rRNA gene transcription and cell cycle progression

A Sarshad, F Sadeghifar, E Louvet, R Mori… - PLoS …, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Actin and nuclear myosin 1c (NM1) cooperate in RNA polymerase I (pol I) transcription. NM1

Diverse functions of homologous actin isoforms are defined by their nucleotide, rather than their amino acid sequence

P Vedula, S Kurosaka, NA Leu, YI Wolf, SA Shabalina… - Elife, 2017 - elifesciences.org
β‐and γ‐cytoplasmic actin are nearly indistinguishable in their amino acid sequence, but are
encoded by different genes that play non‐redundant biological roles. The key determinants …

Nuclear myosin 1 contributes to a chromatin landscape compatible with RNA polymerase II transcription activation

B Almuzzaini, AA Sarshad, AKÖ Farrants, P Percipalle - BMC biology, 2015 - Springer
Background Nuclear myosin 1c (NM1) is emerging as a regulator of transcription and
chromatin organization. Results Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and deep sequencing …

[HTML][HTML] Nuclear actin in development and transcriptional reprogramming

S Misu, M Takebayashi, K Miyamoto - Frontiers in genetics, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Actin is a highly abundant protein in eukaryotic cells and dynamically changes its

A novel actin mRNA splice variant regulates ACTG1 expression

MC Drummond, KH Friderici - PLoS genetics, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Cytoplasmic actins are abundant, ubiquitous proteins in nucleated cells. However, actin
expression is regulated in a tissue-and development-specific manner. We identified a novel …

Nuclear myosin I acts in concert with polymeric actin to drive RNA polymerase I transcription

J Ye, J Zhao, U Hoffmann-Rohrer… - Genes & …, 2008 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Actin is associated with all three nuclear RNA polymerases and acts in concert with nuclear
myosin I (NM1) to drive transcription. Practically nothing is known regarding the state of actin …

The function of actin in gene transcription

A Obrdlik, A Kukalev, P Percipalle - Histology and histopathology, 2007 - digitum.um.es
Recent developments in the field of gene transcription regulation have unfolded a key role
for actin as an important co-factor for all three eukaryotic RNA polymerases. In this review …

Actin's many actions start at the genes

WW Franke - Nature cell biology, 2004 - nature.com
Over more than three decades, sporadic and circumstantial evidence has accumulated to
suggest that nuclear actin has crucial functions in RNA polymerase II-based transcription …
