Sorting out sortilin.
G association studies have the potential to lead to identification of novel pathways and mechanisms for the pathogenesis of common complex diseases. Previous genome-wide association studies have identified a locus on 1p13 as a risk locus for dyslipidemia and myocardial infarction. However, the responsible mechanisms have remained elusive. Two recent reports implicate SORT1 as the causative gene...
متن کاملPAK family kinases
The p21-activated kinases (PAKs) are a family of Ser/Thr protein kinases that are represented by six genes in humans (PAK 1-6), and are found in all eukaryotes sequenced to date. Genetic and knockdown experiments in frogs, fish and mice indicate group I PAKs are widely expressed, required for multiple tissue development, and particularly important for immune and nervous system function in the a...
متن کاملStructure, biochemistry, and biology of PAK kinases.
PAKs, p21-activated kinases, play central roles and act as converging junctions for discrete signals elicited on the cell surface and for a number of intracellular signaling cascades. PAKs phosphorylate a vast number of substrates and act by remodeling cytoskeleton, employing scaffolding, and relocating to distinct subcellular compartments. PAKs affect wide range of processes that are crucial t...
متن کاملSortilin regulates sorting and secretion of Sonic hedgehog.
Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) is a secreted morphogen that is an essential regulator of patterning and growth. The Shh full-length protein undergoes autocleavage in the endoplasmic reticulum to generate the biologically active N-terminal fragment (ShhN), which is destined for secretion. We identified sortilin (Sort1), a member of the VPS10P-domain receptor family, as a new Shh trafficking receptor. We d...
متن کاملPrions amplify through degradation of the VPS10P sorting receptor sortilin
Prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by prions, which consist mainly of the abnormally folded isoform of prion protein, PrPSc. A pivotal pathogenic event in prion disease is progressive accumulation of prions, or PrPSc, in brains through constitutive conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein, PrPC, into PrPSc. However, the cellular mechanism by wh...
