The unconventional myosin CRINKLED and its mammalian orthologue MYO7A regulate caspases in their signalling roles

The unconventional myosin CRINKLED and its mammalian orthologue MYO7A regulate caspases in their signalling roles

In addition to their role in apoptosis, caspases are also involved in mediating non-apoptotic events. Here the authors show that the Drosophilamyosin family member CRINKLED and its mammalian counterpart act as substrate adaptor that facilitate caspase-mediated cleavage and localised kinase activity.
