Cleavage and activation of LIM kinase 1 as a novel mechanism for calpain 2-mediated regulation of nuclear dynamics

Abstract Calpain-2 (CAPN2) is a processing enzyme ubiquitously expressed in mammalian tissues whose pleiotropic functions depend on the role played by its cleaved-products. Nuclear interaction networks, crucial for a number of molecular processes, could be modified by CAPN2 activity. However, CAPN2...
