Autoregulatory loop for SRF-dependent cytoskeletal target gene activation. The schematic models a positive feedback mechanism for SRF-mediated cytoskeletal gene expression wherein actin dynamics stimulate SRF activity, which, in turn, activates genes encoding the cytoskeletal apparatus. We propose this feedback loop is an ancient mechanism for SRF-dependent regulation of normal cytoskeletal homeostasis, which, in turn, is requisite for SRF activity.
