TLDR
Alkaline phosphatase treatment of one Asp-N peptide converted it to a peptide of mass 673, demonstrating that this peptide contains the phosphate group, confirming that Ser3 in the encoded ADF is the single in vivo regulatory site.

ROCKs: multifunctional kinases in cell behaviour

TL;DR: Recent experiments have defined new functions of ROCKs in cells, including centrosome positioning and cell-size regulation, which might contribute to various physiological and pathological states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signaling from Rho to the actin cytoskeleton through protein kinases ROCK and LIM-kinase.

TL;DR: Results indicate that phosphorylation of LIM-kinase by ROCK and consequently increased phosphorylated of cofilin by LIM- Kinase contribute to Rho-induced reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.

Molecular Mechanisms Controlling Actin Filament Dynamics in Nonmuscle Cells

TL;DR: How motile cells regulate actin filament assembly at their leading edge is reviewed, including how Arp2/3 complex is incorporated into the network, and new filaments are capped rapidly, so that activated Arp1/2 complex must be supplied continuously to keep the network growing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of actin dynamics through phosphorylation of cofilin by LIM-kinase

TL;DR: A mechanism for the regulation of cofilin and hence of actin dynamics in vivo is defined and should play a central role in regulating cell motility and morphogenesis by modulating the stability of act in cytoskeletal structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cofilin phosphorylation by LIM-kinase 1 and its role in Rac-mediated actin reorganization

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.

High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of proteins.

TL;DR: This technique provides a method for estimation of the number of proteins made by any biological system and can resolve proteins differing in a single charge and consequently can be used in the analysis of in vivo modifications resulting in a change in charge.
