General annotation (Comments)

Function	Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays an essential role in the regulation of actin filament dynamics. Acts downstream of several Rho family GTPase signal transduction pathways. Activated by upstream kinases including ROCK1, PAK1 and PAK4, which phosphorylate LIMK1 on a threonine residue located in its activation loop. LIMK1 subsequently phosphorylates and inactivates the actin binding/depolymerizing factors cofilin-1/CFL1, cofilin-2/CFL2 and destrin/DSTN, thereby preventing the cleavage of filamentous actin (F-actin), and stabilizing the actin cytoskeleton. In this way LIMK1 regulates several actin-dependent biological processes including cell motility, cell cycle progression, and differentiation. Phosphorylates TPPP on serine residues, thereby promoting microtubule disassembly. Stimulates axonal outgrowth and may be involved in brain development. Isoform 3 has a dominant negative effect on actin cytoskeletal changes. Required for atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2-induced phosphorylation of cofilin (CFL1). Ref.4 Ref.9 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.21 Ref.29
Catalytic activity	ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.
Subunit structure	Interacts (via LIM domain) with the cytoplasmic domain of NRG1 By similarity. Interacts with NISCH By similarity. Interacts with RLIM and RNF6 By similarity. Self-associates to form homodimers. Interacts with HSP90AA1; this interaction promotes LIMK1 dimerization and subsequent transphosphorylation. Interacts with CDN1C. Interacts with SSH1. Interacts with ROCK1. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.15 Ref.17 Ref.20
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: Predominantly found in the cytoplasm. Ref.4 Ref.18 Ref.28
Tissue specificity	Highest expression in both adult and fetal nervous system. Detected ubiquitously throughout the different regions of adult brain, with highest levels in the cerebral cortex. Expressed to a lesser extent in heart and skeletal muscle.
Post-translational modification	Autophosphorylated By similarity. Phosphorylated on Thr-508 by ROCK1 and PAK1, resulting in activation. Phosphorylated by PAK4 which increases the ability of LIMK1 to phosphorylate cofilin. Phosphorylated at Ser-323 by MAPKAPK2 during activation of VEGFA-induced signaling, which results in activation of LIMK1 and promotion of actin reorganization, cell migration, and tubule formation of endothelial cells. Dephosphorylated and inactivated by SSH1. Phosphorylated by CDC42BP. Ref.8 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.17 Ref.19 Ref.29 Ubiquitinated. 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination by RNF6 leads to proteasomal degradation through the 26S proteasome, modulating LIMK1 levels in the growth cone and its effect on axonal outgrowth. Also polyubiquitinated by RLIM By similarity.
Involvement in disease	LIMK1 is located in the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) critical region. WBS results from a hemizygous deletion of several genes on chromosome 7q11.23, thought to arise as a consequence of unequal crossing over between highly homologous low-copy repeat sequences flanking the deleted region.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Contains 2 LIM zinc-binding domains. Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain. Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 4 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]

Isoform 1 (identifier: P53667-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.

Isoform 2 (identifier: P53667-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-14: Missing.

Isoform 3 (identifier: P53667-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     294-305: LRSCSIDRSPGA → FARTWVALSPSA
     306-647: Missing.

Note: May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

Isoform 4 (identifier: P53667-4)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-51: MRLTLLCCTWREERMGEEGSELPVCASCGQRIYDGQYLQALNADWHADCFR → MLLASAPRRRRFLQRAK

Note: No experimental confirmation available.
