Abstract

p21-activated protein kinase (PAK) 2 is a small GTPase-activated serine/threonine kinase regulating various cytoskeletal functions and is cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis. We demonstrate that the caspase-cleaved PAK2 C-terminal kinase fragment (C-t-PAK2) is posttranslationally myristoylated, although myristoylation is typically a cotranslational process. Myristoylation and an adjacent polybasic domain of C-t-PAK2 are sufficient to redirect EGFP from the cytosol to membrane ruffles and internal membranes. Membrane localization and the ability of C-t-PAK2 to induce cell death are significantly reduced when myristoylation is abolished. In addition, the proper myristoylation-dependent membrane localization of C-t-PAK2 significantly increased signaling through the stress-activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway, which often regulates apoptosis. Interestingly, C-t-PAK2 promoted cell death without compromising mitochondrial integrity. Posttranslational myristoylation of caspase-cleaved proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics (e.g., PAK2, actin, and gelsolin) might be part of a unique series of mechanisms involved in the regulation of the later events of apoptosis.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.
