Molecular Cloning of a New Member of the p21-Cdc42/Rac-activated Kinase (PAK) Family

Abstract: (1994) Nature 367, 40 -46). The purified serine/threonine kinase p65 PAK has been shown to be directly activated by GTP-Rac1 or GTP-Cdc42. Here we report the cDNA sequence encoding a new brain-enriched PAK isoform ␤-PAK, which shares 79% amino acid identity with the previously described ␣-isoform. Their mRNAs are differentially expressed in the brain, with ␣-PAK mRNA being particularly abundant in motor-associated regions. In vitro translation products of the ␣-and ␤-PAK cDNAs exhibited relative molecular mass… Show more

“…1, 10, and 22), although there may be also some important differences. For example, PAK3 is released from Rac1 following activation, whereas PAK1 and PAK2 remain bound to this GTPase (2,3,6). Our analysis was performed mostly with PAK3, but we also showed that paxillin ␣ can associate with PAK1.…”

“…The brain-specific isoform MST3b may play a distinct functional role from MST3. It has been reported that the expression pattern of a few members of STE20 kinase family is relatively restricted to a certain tissue: PAK3 in brain (49,50), hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 in hematopoietic cells (13,14), and lymphocyte-oriented kinase in lymphocytes (23). This expression pattern may give some clues as to its possible function and physiological roles.…”
