Journal ArticleDOI
Cofilin phosphorylation by LIM-kinase 1 and its role in Rac-mediated actin reorganization
Neng Yang,Osamu Higuchi,Kazumasa Ohashi,Kyoko Nagata,Atsushi Wada,Kenji Kangawa,Eisuke Nishida,Kensaku Mizuno,Kensaku Mizuno +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that LIM-kinase 1 (LIMK-1), a serine/threonine kinase containing LIM and PDZ domains, phosphorylates cofilin at Ser’3, both in vitro and in vivo, which indicates that LIMK- 1 participates in Rac-mediated actin cytoskeletal reorganization, probably by phosphoryLating co Filin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rho-associated Kinase ROCK Activates LIM-kinase 1 by Phosphorylation at Threonine 508 within the Activation Loop
TL;DR: The results suggest that activation of LIMK1 is one of the common targets for Rho and Rac to reorganize the actin cytoskeleton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the Product of Growth Arrest-specific Gene 6 as a Common Ligand for Axl, Sky, and Mer Receptor Tyrosine Kinases
Kyoko Nagata,Kazumasa Ohashi,Toru Nakano,Hitoshi Arita,Chen Zong,Hidesaburo Hanafusa,Kensaku Mizuno +6 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that Gas6 is a common ligand for Axl, Sky, and Mer, all known members of an Axl/Sky receptor subfamily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell adhesion to phosphatidylserine mediated by a product of growth arrest-specific gene 6.
Toru Nakano,Yoshikazu Ishimoto,Junji Kishino,Masato Umeda,Keizo Inoue,Kyoko Nagata,Kazumasa Ohashi,Kensaku Mizuno,Hitoshi Arita +8 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that Gas6 may play a role in recognition of cells exposing phosphatidylserine on their surfaces by phagocytic cells, which is supposed to be one of the mechanisms for clearing dying cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation of Sky Receptor Tyrosine Kinase by the Product of Growth Arrest-specific Gene 6
Kazumasa Ohashi,Kyoko Nagata,Jiro Toshima,Toru Nakano,Hitoshi Arita,Hiroko Tsuda,Koji Suzuki,Kensaku Mizuno +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is obtained that Gas6 (the product of growth arrest-specific gene 6) is a ligand of the Sky receptor tyrosine kinase, and specifically binds to and stimulates Sky receptor Tyro3.
