Product Overview
Tag | GST |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | BC040061 |
Synonym | PRK1, DBK, PKN1, PKN, MGC46204, PAK1, PRKCL1, PKC-L1 |
Background | PKN1/PRK1 belongs to the protein kinase C superfamily which is activated by Rho family of small G proteins. PKN1/PRK1 is known to mediate the Rho-dependent signaling pathway and it can be activated by phospholipids and by limited proteolysis (1). PDPK1/PDK may also mediate insulin signals to the actin cytoskeleton and the proteolytic activation of this kinase by caspase-3 or related proteases during apoptosis suggest its role in signal transduction related to apoptosis. PKN1/PRK signaling stimulates AR activity in the presence of adrenal androgens and in the presence of an AR antagonist (2). |

Target Details
Target Function | 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. |

Gene Functions References
- Steady-state kinetic analysis revealed that PKN1-3 follows a sequential ordered Bi-Bi kinetic mechanism, where peptide substrate binding is preceded by ATP binding. This kinetic mechanism was confirmed by additional kinetic studies for product inhibition and affinity of small molecule inhibitors. PMID: 27919031
- Pkn1 is not required for tumorigenesis initiated by loss of Pten. Triple knockout of Pten, Pkn1, and Pkn2 in mouse prostate results in squamous cell carcinoma, an uncommon but therapy-resistant form of prostate cancer. PMID: 28875501
- PKN1 activity was up-regulated by the active RhoA mutant (G14V) and suppressed by RhoA T19N. PKN1 siRNA interrupted the ability of RhoA to promote ESC proliferation and DNA synthesis. The effect of RhoA on ESC proliferation is mediated by activation of the PKN1-cyclin D1 pathway in vitro. PMID: 28222172
