Descriptions
(Annotation based on sequence homology with Q9NQU5)
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).
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.

4 GO annotations of cellular component
Name | Definition |
---|---|
cell junction | A cellular component that forms a specialized region of connection between two or more cells, or between a cell and the extracellular matrix, or between two membrane-bound components of a cell, such as flagella. |
cytoplasm | The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
fibrillar center | A structure found most metazoan nucleoli, but not usually found in lower eukaryotes; surrounded by the dense fibrillar component; the zone of transcription from multiple copies of the pre-rRNA genes is in the border region between these two structures. |
nucleoplasm | That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus. |
3 GO annotations of molecular function
Name | Definition |
---|---|
ATP binding | Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator. |
protein serine kinase activity | Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate. |
protein serine/threonine kinase activity | Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate, and ATP + protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate. |
8 GO annotations of biological process
Name | Definition |
---|---|
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. |
learning | Any process in an organism in which a relatively long-lasting adaptive behavioral change occurs as the result of experience. |
locomotory behavior | The specific movement from place to place of an organism in response to external or internal stimuli. Locomotion of a whole organism in a manner dependent upon some combination of that organism's internal state and external conditions. |
memory | The activities involved in the mental information processing system that receives (registers), modifies, stores, and retrieves informational stimuli. The main stages involved in the formation and retrieval of memory are encoding (processing of received information by acquisition), storage (building a permanent record of received information as a result of consolidation) and retrieval (calling back the stored information and use it in a suitable way to execute a given task). |
neuron projection arborization | The process in which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized into branches. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites. |
neuron projection extension | Long distance growth of a single neuron projection involved in cellular development. A neuron projection is a prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite. |
protein phosphorylation | The process of introducing a phosphate group on to a protein. |
regulation of MAPK cascade | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of signal transduction mediated by the MAP kinase (MAPK) cascade. |
