The regulation of KIF3 motor complex by POPX2 phosphatase

The POPX2 serine/threonine phosphatase was first identified as a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphatase (CaMKPase). Later, the phosphatase was isolated as a binding partner of PIX, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor of the Rho GTPases. POPX2 has been shown to dephosphorylate and down...
