| description | Myocardin-related transcription factor A (MRTFA, also known MKL1) is an actin-binding transcriptional coactivator whose localisation is regulated by its interaction with monomeric actin (G-actin) []. Its N-terminal domain consists of three tandem RPEL repeats, where the G-actin binding site and the nuclear localisation signal can be found [, ]. In the nucleus MAL associates with SRF (serum response factor) and activates transcription of SRF:MAL-dependent target genes []. It has been implicated in human diseases, such as acute megakaryocytic leukemia []and other cancers []. |
