Summary

CDC42BPA (CDC42 binding protein kinase alpha, HGNC:1737) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q42.13, encoding Serine/threonine-protein kinase MRCK alpha (Q5VT25). Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is an important downstream effector of CDC42 and plays a role in the regulation of cytoskeleton reorganization and cell migration.

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. This kinase contains multiple functional domains. Its kinase domain is highly similar to that of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK). This kinase also contains a Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain, and has been shown to bind CDC42. It may function as a CDC42 downstream effector mediating CDC42 induced peripheral actin formation, and promoting cytoskeletal reorganization. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Function. Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is an important downstream effector of CDC42 and plays a role in the regulation of cytoskeleton reorganization and cell migration. Regulates actin cytoskeletal reorganization via phosphorylation of PPP1R12C and MYL9/MLC2. In concert with MYO18A and LURAP1, is involved in modulating lamellar actomyosin retrograde flow that is crucial to cell protrusion and migration. Phosphorylates: PPP1R12A, LIMK1 and LIMK2. May play a role in TFRC-mediated iron uptake. In concert with FAM89B/LRAP25 mediates the targeting of LIMK1 to the lamellipodium resulting in its activation and subsequent phosphorylation of CFL1 which is important for lamellipodial F-actin regulation. Triggers the formation of an extrusion apical actin ring required for epithelial extrusion of apoptotic cells.

Subunit / interactions. Homodimer and homotetramer via the coiled coil regions. Interacts tightly with GTP-bound but not GDP-bound CDC42. Forms a tripartite complex with MYO18A and LURAP1 with the latter acting as an adapter connecting CDC42BPA and MYO18A. LURAP1 binding results in activation of CDC42BPA by abolition of its negative autoregulation. Interacts with LURAP1. Interacts (via AGC-kinase C-terminal domain) with FAM89B/LRAP25 (via LRR repeat). Forms a tripartite complex with FAM89B/LRAP25 and LIMK1.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cell projection. Lamellipodium.

Tissue specificity. Abundant in the heart, brain, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas, with little or no expression in the lung and liver.

Post-translational modifications. Proteolytically cleaved by caspases upon apoptosis induction. The cleavage at Asp-478 by CASP3 increases its kinase activity (in vitro).

Activity regulation. Maintained in an inactive, closed conformation by an interaction between the kinase domain and the negative autoregulatory C-terminal coiled-coil region. Agonist binding to the phorbol ester binding site disrupts this, releasing the kinase domain to allow N-terminus-mediated dimerization and kinase activation by transautophosphorylation. Inhibited by chelerythrine chloride.

Induction. Regulated by cellular iron levels.

Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. DMPK subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 110 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
