LIM Kinase (LIMK)
LIMKs
LIM kinases (LIMKs) are important cell cytoskeleton regulators that play a prominent role in cancer manifestation and neuronal diseases. The LIMK family consists of two homologues, LIMK1 and LIMK2, which differ from one another in expression profile, intercellular localization, and function. The main substrate of LIMK is cofilin, a member of the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) protein family. When phosphorylated by LIMK, cofilin is inactive. LIMKs play a contributory role in several neurodevelopmental disorders and in cancer growth and metastasis.
LIM domain kinases (LIMK1 and 2) are substrate for Cdc42/Rac-PAK, and modulate actin dynamics by phosphorylating cofilin at serine-3. This modification inactivates cofilin’s actin severing and depolymerizing activity. LIMKs also translocate into the nucleus and regulate cell cycle progression. LIMKs are potential therapeutic targets for NF2 and other merlin-deficient tumors.

RSS0680
0 ImagesRSS0680 is a small noncoding RNA (sRNA) targeting the mRNA ribosome binding site (RBS) and a PROTAC. RSS0680 competitively binds to RBS through the conserved CCUCCUCCC anti-Shine-Dalgarno (aSD) sequence and inhibits the translation initiation of target genes. RSS0680 can interact with the DUF1127 protein CcaF1, regulate its own stability and participate in bacterial oxidative stress defense, enhancing the host's resistance to heat shock and oxidative damage by affecting pathways such as C1 metabolism and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. RSS0680 degrades AAK1, CDK1, CDK16, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6, EIF2AK4, GAK, LATSl, LIMK2, MAPK6, MAPKAPK5, MARK2, MARK4, MKNK2, NEK9, RPS6KB1, SIK2, SNRK, STK17A, STK17B, STK35, and WEEl.
