LIM Kinase 1 Activates cAMP-responsive Element-binding Protein during the Neuronal Differentiation of Immortalized Hippocampal Progenitor Cells

Abstract

LIM kinase 1 (LIMK1), a novel member of a subclass of the protein-serine/threonine kinases, is known to play a role in the development and maintenance of neuronal circuits that mediate cognitive function. Genetic studies have implicated a mutation of LIMK1 as a causative factor in the impairment of visuospatial cognition in a neurodevelopmental disorder, Williams syndrome. A transcriptional factor, cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB), is thought to be involved in the formation of many types of synaptic plasticity involving learning and memory. In the present study we show that the LIMK1 activity is markedly induced during the differentiation of immortalized hippocampal progenitor (H19-7) cells. We found that the addition of neurogenic growth factor to H19-7 LIMK1 and that LIMK1 and that to the of cAMP-responsive during H19-7 neuronal In we found that LIMK1 and the LIMK1 to the of the neuronal differentiation of H19-7 that LIMK1 and in the neuronal differentiation of hippocampal progenitor cells.
