Overlay histogram showing Ramos cells stained with ab224967 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab224967, 1/5000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

Isotype control antibody (black line) was Rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Alexa Fluor^® 647 (ab199093) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 40 mW Red laser (640nm) and 670/14 bandpass filter.

LIMK2 also known as LIM domain kinase 2 is a protein that functions primarily as a serine/threonine kinase. This protein with a molecular weight of approximately 72 kDa plays an important role in regulating the cytoskeleton dynamics by phosphorylating and inactivating cofilin thereby affecting actin filament stability. LIMK2 is ubiquitously expressed with higher expression levels observed in the brain and certain types of cancer tissues indicating its importance in both normal and pathological cell processes.

Biological function summary

LIMK2 influences cell motility differentiation and division by modulating the actin cytoskeleton. It is a central component in various signaling complexes where it interacts with proteins such as ROCK and PAK which are upstream activators. By controlling actin filament assembly and disassembly LIMK2 impacts essential cellular functions including migration and invasion highlighting its potential role in cancer metastasis.

Pathways

LIMK2 integrates into signaling cascades linked to the Rho family of GTPases and the TGF-beta pathways. In these pathways it collaborates with proteins like ROCK to influence cytoskeletal reorganization. LIMK2's activity in these pathways emphasizes its role in maintaining cellular integrity and responding to extracellular stimuli which are critical components of cell cycle regulation and morphological changes.

Aberrant LIMK2 activity has connections with cancer progression and neurological disorders. In cancer upregulation can lead to increased tumor cell invasion and metastasis through its interaction with cofilin and the subsequent increase in actin filament assembly. In neurological contexts altered LIMK2 function associates with neurodegenerative diseases possibly due to its role in neuronal signaling networks and cytoskeletal dynamics. Understanding LIMK2’s interactions with proteins like cofilin offers insight into potential therapeutic targets for managing these diseases.

Target data

Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays an essential role in the regulation of actin filament dynamics (PubMed : 10436159, PubMed : 11018042). Acts downstream of several Rho family GTPase signal transduction pathways (PubMed : 10436159, PubMed : 11018042). Involved in astral microtubule organization and mitotic spindle orientation during early stages of mitosis by mediating phosphorylation of TPPP (PubMed : 22328514). Displays serine/threonine-specific phosphorylation of myelin basic protein and histone (MBP) in vitro (PubMed : 8537403). Suppresses ciliogenesis via multiple pathways; phosphorylation of CFL1, suppression of directional trafficking of ciliary vesicles to the ciliary base, and by facilitating YAP1 nuclear localization where it acts as a transcriptional corepressor of the TEAD4 target genes AURKA and PLK1 (PubMed : 25849865).
