LIM kinases (LIMK1 and LIMK2) are serine/threnine kinases that have two zinc finger motifs, known as LIM motifs in their N-terminal regulatory domain. LIM kinases are involved in actin cytoskeleton regulation throμgh Rho-family GTPases and downstream kinases PAKs and ROCK. PAK1 and ROCK phosphorylate LIMK1 and LIMK2, which increases the activity of the kinases. Activated LIM kinases inhibit the actin depolymerization activity of cofilin by phosphorylation at the N-terminus of Cofilin.
