DESCRIPTION

Also known as PKN1_HUMAN, PKN1, PAK1, PKN, PRK1, PRKCL1. PKC-related serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in various processes such as regulation of the intermediate filaments of the actin cytoskeleton, cell migration, tumor cell invasion and transcription regulation. Part of a signaling cascade that begins with the activation of the adrenergic receptor ADRA1B and leads to the activation of MAPK14. Regulates the cytoskeletal network by phosphorylating proteins such as VIM and neurofilament proteins NEFH, NEFL and NEFM, leading to inhibit their polymerization. Phosphorylates 'Ser-575', 'Ser-637' and 'Ser-669' of MAPT/Tau, lowering its ability to bind to microtubules, resulting in disruption of tubulin assembly. Acts as a key coactivator of androgen receptor (AR)-dependent transcription, by being recruited to AR target genes and specifically mediating phosphorylation of 'Thr-11' of histone H3 (H3T11ph), a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation that promotes demethylation of histone H3 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) by KDM4C/JMJD2C. Phosphorylates HDAC5, HDAC7 and HDAC9, leading to impair their import in the nucleus. Phosphorylates 'Thr-38' of PPP1R14A, 'Ser-159', 'Ser-163' and 'Ser-170' of MARCKS, and GFAP. Able to phosphorylate RPS6 in vitro. Interacts with ZFAND6 (By similarity). Interacts with AR (PubMed:12514133). Interacts with PRKCB (PubMed:20228790). Interacts (via REM 1 and REM 2 repeats) with RAC1 (PubMed:14514689, PubMed:18006505). Interacts (via REM 1 repeat) with RHOA (PubMed:10619026, PubMed:8571126). Interacts with RHOB (PubMed:9478917). Interacts (via C-terminus) with PDPK1 (PubMed:10792047). Interacts with CCNT2; enhances MYOD1-dependent transcription (PubMed:16331689). Component of a signaling complex containing at least AKAP13, PKN1, MAPK14, ZAK and MAP2K3. Within this complex, AKAP13 interacts directly with PKN1, which in turn recruits MAPK14, MAP2K3 and ZAK (PubMed:21224381).
