Autophosphorylation restrains the apoptotic activity of DRP-1 kinase by controlling dimerization and calmodulin binding.
DRP-1 is a pro-apoptotic Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-regulated serine/threonine kinase, recently isolated as a novel member of the DAP-kinase family of proteins. It contains a short extra-catalytic tail required for homodimerization. Here we identify a novel regulatory mechanism that controls its pro-apop...
