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.

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
adherens junction A cell-cell junction composed of the epithelial cadherin-catenin complex. The epithelial cadherins, or E-cadherins, of each interacting cell extend through the plasma membrane into the extracellular space and bind to each other. The E-cadherins bind to catenins on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, where the E-cadherin-catenin complex binds to cytoskeletal components and regulatory and signaling molecules.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
protein kinase activity Catalysis of the phosphorylation of an amino acid residue in a protein, usually according to the reaction: a protein + ATP = a phosphoprotein + ADP.
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.
small GTPase binding Binding to a small monomeric GTPase.

13 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
compound eye development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the compound eye over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The compound eye is an organ of sight that contains multiple repeating units, often arranged hexagonally. Each unit has its own lens and photoreceptor cell(s) and can generate either a single pixelated image or multiple images, per eye.
compound eye photoreceptor cell differentiation The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of an eye photoreceptor cell.
cytoskeleton organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures.
Golgi organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the Golgi apparatus.
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.
mushroom body development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the mushroom body over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The mushroom body is composed of the prominent neuropil structures of the insect central brain, thought to be crucial for olfactory associated learning. These consist mainly of a bulbous calyx and tightly packaged arrays of thin parallel fibers of the Kenyon cells.
negative regulation of cell size Any process that reduces cell size.
peptidyl-serine phosphorylation The phosphorylation of peptidyl-serine to form peptidyl-O-phospho-L-serine.
positive regulation of compound eye photoreceptor development Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of compound eye photoreceptor development.
positive regulation of developmental growth Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of developmental growth.
protein phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group on to a protein.
regulation of cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin.
regulation of MAPK cascade Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of signal transduction mediated by the MAP kinase (MAPK) cascade.
