Target Details for PAK1

Target: PAK1 (P21-Activated Kinase 1 (PAK1))

Alternative Name: PAK1

Background: Three isoforms of serine/threonine kinases, designated αPAK p68, βPAK p65 and γPAK p62, have been shown to exhibit a high degree of sequence homology with the S. cerevisiae kinase Ste 20, involved in pheromone signaling. The α, β and γPAK isoforms complex specifically with Rac1 and Cdc42 in their active GTP-bound state, inhibiting their intrinsic GTPase activity leading to their autophosphorylation. There are eight sites of autophosphorylation on γPAK, including Ser 19, Ser 141 and Thr 402, and phosphorylation of Ser 141 and Thr 402 is correlated with γPAK activation. Once phosphorylated and their affinity for Rac/Cdc42 reduced, the PAK isoforms disassociate from the complex to seek downstream substrates. One such putative substrate is Mek kinase, an upstream effector of Mek4 which is involved in the JNK signaling pathway. While the PAK isoforms interact in a GTPdependent manner with Rac1 and Cdc42, they do not interact with Rho.Synonyms: Alpha-PAK, Beta-PAK, Gamma-PAK, OPHN3, Oligophrenin-3, PAK 1, PAK 2, PAK 3, PAK alpha, PAK beta, PAK gamma, PAK-1, PAK-2, PAK-3, PAK65, Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 1, Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 2, Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 3, p21-activated kinase 1, p21-activated kinase 2, p21-activated kinase 3, p58, p65-PAK
