A tale of two Paks
Open accessAbstract
Paks (p21‐activated kinases) are effectors for the small GTPases Cdc42 (cell division cycle 42) and Rac that play fundamental roles in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell morphology, motility, survival, gene transcription, apoptosis and hormone signalling. These enzymes are widely expressed in numerous tissues and are activated by extracellular signals through GTPase‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms. On the basis of structural and biochemical features, the Pak family members have been classified into two groups, comprising three members each. The two Pak groups have generally been considered as two halves of a single entity, but accumulating evidence indicates that this is not so. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the structure, regulation and function of these kinases, emphasizing the many differences between these two groups of signalling proteins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
