LIM proteins constitute a superfamily characterized by the presence of specialized domains called LIM. LIM domain is a unique double-zinc finger motif found in a variety of proteins and is mainly involved in protein-protein interactions. Previous work has implicated that members of the Zyxin subfamily of LIM proteins, namely TRIP6 and LPP are involved in the repression of the DNA damage response (DDR) at telomeres. We further explore if another member from this family has an influence on DDR prevention in the cells. Here, we describe a novel role for Ajuba, a Zyxin family LIM protein, in repressing inappropriate activation …
