motifs/domains
  • N-terminal region of PKN1, PKN2, PKN3 plays a role in their regulation, and also contains three Rho-binding domains (HR1a, HR1b, and HR1c)

    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a protein serine/threonine kinase
  • PKN1 and PKN3 phosphorylate serine residues in sequence contexts that have an arginine residue in position -3
  • appears to play a pivotal role in maintaining endothelial cell morphology, cell-cell junctions and motility
  • PKN3 plays critical roles in angiogenesis and tumor metastasis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS

    small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP
  • protein
  • physically interacts with Rho-family GTPases, and preferentially with RHOC, a known mediator of tumor invasion and metastasis in epithelial cancers
  • negative feedback regulatory mechanism of Rho signaling mediated by PKN3-induced ARHGAP18 activation
  • cell & other
