Swiss-port # P35465 Rat Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 1 |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | PAK1-3 |
| Gene Full Name | p21 protein (Cdc42/Rac)-activated kinase 1 |
| Background | In mammals, there are several identified isoforms of p21-activated protein k inases or PAKs: α-PAK (also known as PAK-1) and β-PAK (also known as PAK-3) are mostly brainspecific, while -PAK (also known as PAK-2) is expressed ubiquitously (Jakobi et al., 2003). Mutations of the gene coding for PAK-3 are associated with X-linked mental retardation and recent work indicates that PAK-3 is a key regulator of synapse formation and plasticity in the hippocampus (Boda et al., 2004). PAK-3 is thought to play a key role in regulation of cell shape and motility as well as cell death (Jakobi et al., 2003; Walter et al., 1998). Autophosphorylation of Thr402 in the protein has been found to be essential for activation of PAK (Jakobi et al., 2000). |

| Calculated MW | 61 kDa |
| PTM | Autophosphorylated in trans, meaning that in a dimer, one kinase molecule phosphorylates the other one. Activated by autophosphorylation at Thr-423 in response to a conformation change, triggered by interaction with GTP-bound CDC42 or RAC1. Activated by phosphorylation at Thr-423 by BRSK2 and by PDPK1. Phosphorylated by JAK2 in response to PRL; this increases PAK1 kinase activity. Phosphorylated at Ser-21 by PKB/AKT; this reduces interaction with NCK1 and association with focal adhesion sites. |
