Summary: Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; microfilament motor activity; and myosin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin-mediated cell contraction; cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis; and myofibril assembly. Located in I band. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and musculature. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy 1R. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial heart septal defect 5; dilated cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy 1R; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 11. Orthologous to human ACTC1 (actin alpha cardiac muscle 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

This study provides novel insights into the complex genetic regulation of Actc1 expression in early adult skeletal muscles.
Title: Variable cardiac α-actin (Actc1) expression in early adult skeletal muscle correlates with promoter methylation.
Analogous to the findings in human skeletal muscle, Actc1 expression in mouse gastrocnemius muscle increased after testosterone deprivation in orchidectomized mice compared with sham controls
Title: Actin alpha cardiac muscle 1 gene expression is upregulated in the skeletal muscle of men undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.
ACTC E361G mutation uncouples the relationship between Ca(2+) sensitivity and troponin I phosphorylation, predisposing the heart to dilated cardiomyopathy under conditions of chronic stress.
Title: A dilated cardiomyopathy mutation blunts adrenergic response and induces contractile dysfunction under chronic angiotensin II stress.
results demonstrate that in ACTC(Co)/KO myofibres, the presence of cardiac alpha-actin instead of skeletal muscle alpha-actin alters actin conformational changes upon activation; this later finely modulates the strain of individual actomyosin interactions and overall lowers myofibre force production
Title: Skeletal and cardiac α-actin isoforms differently modulate myosin cross-bridge formation and myofibre force production.
Data indicate that the tri-helix bundle is important to the regulatory role of cMyBP-C, likely through actin-binding interactions.
Title: A gain-of-function mutation in the M-domain of cardiac myosin-binding protein-C increases binding to actin.
propose that the ACTC E99K mutation causes higher myofibrillar Ca(2+) sensitivity that is responsible for the sudden cardiac death, apical hypertrophy, and subsequent development of heart failure in humans and mice.
Title: Molecular mechanism of the E99K mutation in cardiac actin (ACTC Gene) that causes apical hypertrophy in man and mouse.
These results demonstrate the importance of the Emb-MEF2D-histone transacetylase p300 complex in the transcriptional regulation of the cardiac actin gene and suggest a potential role in chromatin remodeling associated with muscle gene activation.
Title: A novel complex regulates cardiac actin gene expression through interaction of Emb, a class VI POU domain protein, MEF2D, and the histone transacetylase p300.
Other actin isoforms cannot compensate for the lack of cardiac alpha-actin, and this seems to induce apoptosis in defective cardiac myocytes, which are not able to cope with the increased workload in the perinatal phase.
Title: Cellular disorganization and extensive apoptosis in the developing heart of mice that lack cardiac muscle alpha-actin: apparent cause of perinatal death.
there is a cardiac-specific enhancer located within -2.354/-1.36 kbp of Actc1
Title: Characterization of a cardiac-specific enhancer, which directs {alpha}-cardiac actin gene transcription in the mouse adult heart.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
