18337547 Elberg G, Chen L, Elberg D, Chan MD, Logan CJ, Turman MA: MKL1 mediates TGF-beta1-induced alpha-smooth muscle actin expression in human renal epithelial cells. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2008 May;294(5):F1116-28. Epub 2008 Mar 12.


Using proteasome inhibitors, we also demonstrate that the proteolytic ubiquitin pathway regulates MKL1 expression.

Am J Hum Genet. 2008 Jan;82(1):188-93.


Our observations indicate first that XL-SMA is part of a growing list of neurodegenerative disorders associated with defects in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and second that synonymous C--> T transitions might have the potential to affect gene expression.
