p116(Rip), originally identified as a binding partner of activated RhoA, is an actin-binding protein that interacts with the regulatory myosin-binding subunit (MBS) of myosin-II phosphatase and is essential for Rho-regulated cytoskeletal contractility. Here, we have examined the role of p116(Rip) in RhoA-mediated activation of the transcription factor SRF. We show that p116(Rip) oligomerizes via its C-terminal coiled-coil domain and, when overexpressed, inhibits RhoA-induced SRF activation without affecting RhoA-GTP levels. Mutant forms of p116(Rip) that fail to oligomerize or bind to MBS are still capable of inhibiting SRF activity. Our results suggest that p116(Rip) interferes with RhoA-mediated transcription through its ability to disassemble the actomyosin cytoskeleton downstream of RhoA.
