Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
18176785 protein phosphatase 1alpha can act directly on phosphorylated Thr-402 in the activation loop of PAK2 and down-regulate its kinase activity
17881449 interaction of Nef with PAK2 does not play a major role in T-cell activation, viral replication, and apoptosis.
14749374 Pak2 phosphorylates Myc at three sites (T358, S373, and T400) and affects Myc functions both in vitro and in vivo
16281055 Pak2 binds to and phosphorylates initiation factor eIF4G, which inhibits association of eIF4E with m7GTP, reducing translation initiation.
16204230 binding of Cdc42 localizes Pak2 to the endoplasmic reticulum, where autophosphorylation alters association of the two proteins
15234964 Pak2 has a role in the down-regulation of translation initiation in apoptosis by phosphorylation of Mnk1
12823590 The opposing effects of Core protein on the transcription pf P21 might be important in the progression of liver disease in HCV-positive patients.
12453877 Cdc42/Rac1-dependent activation of PAK may trigger early platelet shape change, at least in part through the regulation of cortactin binding to PAK.
16867995 c-Abl represents a target downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-activated PAK2, which differentiates TGF-beta signaling in fibroblasts and epithelial cell lines.
16979207 This study of tissue-derived HIV-1 Nefs demonstrates that CD4 and MHC-I downregulation are highly conserved Nef functions, while Pak2 association is variable in late stage AIDS patients.
