    Data suggest 2 major isoforms of profilin (Pfn1 and Pfn2) are co-regulated by a common mechanism involving the action of MKL1 [megakaryoblastic leukemia (translocation) 1 protein] that is independent of its SRF- (serum-response factor)-related activity; cellular externalization of Pfn1, rather than transcription, is affected by the perturbations of MKL1; MKL1 can influence cell migration by modulating Pfn1 expression.

    The myocardin-related transcription factor MKL co-regulates the cellular levels of two profilin isoforms.
