Activation of LIMK by ROCK has been linked to the phosphoregulation of ADF/cofilin.52,54???56 ADF/cofilin has been shown to be one of the key regulators of actin severing, nucleation and capping within the protrusive machinery

Cofilin is required for the maintenance of a polarized cytoskeleton and thus for directional cell miogration.

LIMK1 is a serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylates and inactivates the actin-depolymerization factor cofilin, thereby regulating actin cytoskeletal reorganization.
LIMK1 phosphorylates CLF1 (cofilin) downstream of killer cell-activating receptors via RHOA/ROCK1 pathway.
Inhibition of the p160ROCK/LIMK1 pathway results in decreased actin polymerization at the effector/target interface.
