Oncogenic Substrates of LIMK2: LIMK2 directly phosphorylates TWIST1, SPOP, NKX3.1 and PTEN at multiple sites.
| Substrate | Role | Cancer | Phosphorylation Sites | Consequence of phosphorylation | Consequence on LIMK2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TWIST1 | Oncogene | CRPC | S45, S78, S95, S199 | Protein stabilized | LIMK2 Stabi ized |
| SPOP | Tumor Suppressor | CRPC | S59, S171, S226 | Protein degraded | LIMK2 Degraded |
| NKX3.1 | Tumor Suppressor | CRPC | S185 | Protein degraded | LIMK2 Degraded |
| PTEN | Tumor Suppressor | CRPC | S207, S226, S360, S361, S362 | Protein degraded and activity inhibited | LIMK2 Degraded |
