Descriptions

The p21-activated protein kinases5 (PAK5) belongs to group II PAK family and is involved in actin cytoskeleton regulation, cell growth, migration and survival, and so on. Group II PAKs (PAK4, 5, and 6) harbor well-conserved pseudosubstrate sequences. For PAK4, the N-terminal inhibitory segment contains two pseudopeptide sequences (FTGLPR at 32th and RPKPLV at 49th) that bind to the active site of the kinase domain as a pseudosubstrate. Like PAK4, PAK6 catalytic activity is inhibited by a peptide corresponding to its N-terminal pseudosubstrate (RRPKPVVDP at 49th). <br> PAKs are activated by the binding of GTP-loaded Cdc42 (or Rac) to the CRIB domain, which disrupts the dimer and unfolds autoinhibitory region. After releasing autoinhibitory region, kinase domain is then autophosphorylated for full activation.

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
dendrite A neuron projection that has a short, tapering, morphology. Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.
perikaryon The portion of the cell soma (neuronal cell body) that excludes the nucleus.

6 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase binding Binding to a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase, a protein that can phosphorylate a MAP kinase kinase.
protein serine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions
protein serine/threonine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions
small GTPase binding Binding to a small monomeric GTPase.

12 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cell migration The controlled self-propelled movement of a cell from one site to a destination guided by molecular cues.
gonad morphogenesis The process in which the anatomical structures of the gonads are generated and organized. A gonad is an animal organ producing gametes, e.g. the testes or the ovary in mammals.
gonadal mesoderm development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the gonadal mesoderm over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The gonadal mesoderm is the middle layer of the three primary germ layers of the embryo which will go on to form the gonads of the organism.
inductive cell migration Migration of a cell in a multicellular organism that, having changed its location, is required to induce normal properties in one or more cells at its new location. An example of this would be the distal tip cells of Caenorhabditis elegans.
intracellular signal transduction The process in which a signal is passed on to downstream components within the cell, which become activated themselves to further propagate the signal and finally trigger a change in the function or state of the cell.
JNK cascade An intracellular protein kinase cascade containing at least a JNK (a MAPK), a JNKK (a MAPKK) and a JUN3K (a MAP3K). The cascade can also contain an additional tier
motor neuron axon guidance The process in which the migration of an axon growth cone of a motor neuron is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues.
netrin-activated signaling pathway The series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of a netrin protein to its receptor on the surface of the target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. Netrins can act as chemoattractant signals for some cells and chemorepellent signals for others. Netrins also have roles outside of cell and axon guidance.
phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group into a molecule, usually with the formation of a phosphoric ester, a phosphoric anhydride or a phosphoric amide.
regulation of axonogenesis Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of axonogenesis, the generation of an axon, the long process of a neuron.
regulation of MAPK cascade Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of signal transduction mediated by the MAP kinase (MAPK) cascade.
response to copper ion Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a copper ion stimulus.
