Biochem/physiol Actions

PAK3 (p21 protein (Cdc42/Rac)-activated kinase 3) is a member of the family of serine/threonine protein kinases that serve as targets for the small GTPases, Cdc42 (cell division cycle 42) and RAC (AKT1, v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1). The PAK family of proteins has been implicated in a wide range of biological activities and are involved in the control of gene transcription, cell morphology, motility and cell death. A point mutation in PAK3 gene has been linked to nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation. PAK3 is strongly expressed in brain, mainly in the hippocampus.

Nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation (MRX) syndromes are clinically homogeneous but genetically heterogeneous disorders, whose genetic bases are largely unknown. Affected individuals in a multiplex pedigree with MRX (MRX30), previously mapped to Xq22, show a point mutation in the PAK3 (p21-activated

Mutations of the gene coding for PAK3 (p21-activated kinase 3) are associated with X-linked, nonsyndromic forms of mental retardation (MRX) in which the only distinctive clinical feature is the cognitive deficit. The mechanisms through which PAK3 mutation produces the mental

A number of "target" proteins for the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins have now been identified, including the protein kinases ACK and p65PAK (Manser, E., Leung, T., Salihuddin, H., Zhao, Z.-S., and Lim, L. (1994) Nature 367, 40-46). The

X-linked mental retardation is a very common condition that affects approximately 1 in 600 males. Despite recent progress, in most cases the molecular defects underlying this disorder remain unknown. Recently, a study using the candidate gene approach demonstrated the presence

The p21-activated kinases (Paks) are serine/threonine protein kinases that bind to and, in some cases, are stimulated by activated forms of the small GTPases, Cdc42 and Rac. With the recent discovery of several novel isoforms, Paks are now categorized into
