Background

Function
PAK1 is a p21-activated serine/threonine kinase that links Rac/Cdc42 signaling to cell motility, survival, proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, transcription, and translation[1]. Mechanistically, PAK family kinases act as downstream effectors of Rho GTPases, with vertebrate PAKs supporting cytoskeletal remodeling, focal adhesion assembly, cell migration, and synaptic plasticity[2]. In cancer models, PAK1 functions as a signaling node downstream of HGF/MET in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, where PAK1 inhibition blocks cytoskeletal effector signaling, tumor cell motility, tumor growth, and metastasis[3]. In colorectal cancer, Group I Pak inhibition impedes adenoma-to-carcinoma transition by reducing β-catenin activity and suppressing an epithelial-mesenchymal transition program[4]. In neurological disease models, PAK1 knockdown reduces ATXN1 levels in mammalian cells, and pharmacological PAK inhibition decreases ATXN1 levels in an SCA1 mouse model[5]. Compared with related isoforms, PAK1 belongs to Group I PAKs, and inhibitor development must address whether to target one isoform or multiple PAK isoforms[1][5]. For experimental applications, ATP-competitive inhibitors, allosteric inhibitors, and peptide inhibitors provide laboratory tools for studying PAK1 biology and disease contexts[6].

Isoforms & Post-Translational Modification
Q13153 has 2 isomers: Q13153-1: 60647 Da (predicted); Q13153-2: 61632 Da (predicted).
Autophosphorylated in trans, meaning that in a dimer, one kinase molecule phosphorylates the other one (PubMed:20417602, PubMed:22153498, PubMed:23633677). Activated by autophosphorylation at Thr-423 in response to a conformation change, triggered by interaction with GTP-bound CDC42 or RAC1 (PubMed:10551809). Activated by phosphorylation at Thr-423 by BRSK2 and by PDPK1 (PubMed:10995762, PubMed:22669945). Phosphorylated by JAK2 in response to PRL; this increases PAK1 kinase activity. Phosphorylated at Ser-21 by PKB/AKT; this reduces interaction with NCK1 and association with focal adhesion sites (PubMed:14585966). Upon DNA damage, phosphorylated at Thr-212 and translocates to the nucleoplasm (PubMed:23260667). Phosphorylated at tyrosine residues, which can be enhanced by NTN1 (By similarity) -
Subunit
Homodimer; homodimerization results in autoinhibition (PubMed:30290153). Active as monomer. Interacts with GIT1 (PubMed:27012601). Component of cytoplasmic complexes, which also contains PXN, ARHGEF7 and GIT1. Interacts with NISCH (By similarity). Interacts with DVL1; mediates the formation of a DVL1, MUSK and PAK1 ternary complex involved in AChR clustering (By similarity). Binds to the caspase-cleaved p110 isoform of CDC2L1 and CDC2L2, p110C, but not the full-length proteins (PubMed:12624090). Interacts with ARHGEF7 (PubMed:16101281, PubMed:27012601). Interacts tightly with GTP-bound but not GDP-bound CDC42/P21 and RAC1 (By similarity). Interacts with SCRIB (PubMed:18716323). Interacts with PDPK1 (PubMed:10995762). Interacts (via kinase domain) with RAF1 (PubMed:11733498). Interacts with NCK1 and NCK2 (PubMed:10026169). Interacts with TBCB (PubMed:15831477). Interacts with BRSK2 (By similarity). Interacts with SNAI1 (PubMed:15833848). Interacts with CIB1 isoform 2 (PubMed:23503467). Interacts with CIB1 (via N-terminal region); the interaction is direct, promotes PAK1 activity and occurs in a calcium-dependent manner. Interacts with INPP5K (PubMed:26940976). Interacts with gamma-tubulin (PubMed:27012601). Interacts with RHOU; the interaction promotes PAK1 activation (PubMed:26598620)
