Entrez Gene summary for PAK2:
The p21 activated kinases (PAK) are critical effectors that link Rho GTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear
signaling. The PAK proteins are a family of serine/threonine kinases that serve as targets for the small GTP binding
proteins, CDC42 and RAC1, and have been implicated in a wide range of biological activities. The protein encoded by
this gene is activated by proteolytic cleavage during caspase-mediated apoptosis, and may play a role in regulating
the apoptotic events in the dying cell. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PAK2_HUMAN, Q13177
Function: Serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a role in a variety of different signaling pathways including
cytoskeleton regulation, cell motility, cell cycle progression, apoptosis or proliferation. Acts as downstream
effector of the small GTPases CDC42 and RAC1. Activation by the binding of active CDC42 and RAC1 results in a
conformational change and a subsequent autophosphorylation on several serine and/or threonine residues. Full-length
PAK2 stimulates cell survival and cell growth. Phosphorylates MAPK4 and MAPK6 and activates the downstream target
MAPKAPK5, a regulator of F-actin polymerization and cell migration. Phosphorylates JUN and plays an important role in
EGF-induced cell proliferation. Phosphorylates many other substrates including histone H4 to promote assembly of H3.3
and H4 into nucleosomes, BAD, ribosomal protein S6, or MBP. Additionally, associates with ARHGEF7 and GIT1 to perform
kinase-independent functions such as spindle orientation control during mitosis. On the other hand, apoptotic stimuli
such as DNA damage lead to caspase-mediated cleavage of PAK2, generating PAK-2p34, an active p34 fragment that
translocates to the nucleus and promotes cellular apoptosis involving the JNK signaling pathway. Caspase-activated
PAK2 phosphorylates MKNK1 and reduces cellular translation

Post-translational modifications:

  • Full length PAK2 is autophosphorylated when activated by CDC42/p21. Following cleavage, both peptides, PAK-2p27 and
  • PAK-2p34, become highly autophosphorylated, with PAK-2p27 being phosphorylated on serine and PAK-2p34 on threonine
    residues, respectively. Autophosphorylation of PAK-2p27 can occur in the absence of any effectors and is dependent on
    phosphorylation of Thr-402, because PAK-2p27 is acting as an exogenous substrate1
  • During apoptosis proteolytically cleaved by caspase-3 or caspase-3-like proteases to yield active PAK-2p341
  • Ubiquitinated, leading to its proteasomal degradation1
  • PAK-2p34 is myristoylated1

    Function: Serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a role in a variety of different signaling pathways including
    cytoskeleton regulation, cell motility, cell cycle progression, apoptosis or proliferation. Acts as downstream
    effector of the small GTPases CDC42 and RAC1. Activation by the binding of active CDC42 and RAC1 results in a

    PAK2 phosphorylates MKNK1 and reduces cellular translation
    Catalytic activity: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein
    Enzyme regulation: Activated by binding small G proteins. Binding of GTP-bound CDC42 or RAC1 to the autoregulatory
    region releases monomers from the autoinhibited dimer, enables phosphorylation of Thr-402 and allows the kinase domain
    to adopt an active structure (By similarity). Following caspase cleavage, autophosphorylated PAK-2p34 is
    constitutively active
