The small GTPase Rac and its effectors, the Pak1
and p35/Cdk5 kinases, have been assigned important roles in regulating
cytoskeletal dynamics in neurons. Our previous work revealed that the
neuronal p35/Cdk5 kinase associates with Pak1 in a
RacGTP-dependent manner, causing hyperphosphorylation and
down-regulation of Pak1 kinase activity. We have now demonstrated
direct phosphorylation of Pak1 on threonine 212 by the p35/Cdk5 kinase.
In neuronal growth cones, Pak1 phosphorylated on Thr-212
localized to actin and tubulin-rich areas, suggesting a role in
regulating growth cone dynamics. The expression of a
non-phosphorylatable Pak1 mutant (Pak1A212) induced dramatic neurite
disorganization. We also observed a strong association between p35/Cdk5
and the Pak1 C-terminal kinase domain. Overall, our data show that in
neurons, membrane-associated, active Pak1 is regulated by the p35/Cdk5
kinase both by association and phosphorylation, which is essential for
the proper regulation of the cytoskeleton during neurite
outgrowth and remodeling.
