Disease relevance of CDK5

 

Psychiatry related information on CDK5

 

High impact information on CDK5

  • 14-3-3epsilon binds to CDK5/p35-phosphorylated NUDEL and this binding maintains NUDEL phosphorylation [11].
  • These results establish a crucial role for 14-3-3epsilon in neuronal development by sustaining the effects of CDK5 phosphorylation and provide a molecular explanation for the differences in severity of human neuronal migration defects with 17p13.3 deletions [11].
  • Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is required for proper development of the mammalian central nervous system [12].
  • Because the Rho family of GTPases and the Pak kinases are implicated in actin polymerization, the modification of Pak1, imposed by the p35/Cdk5 kinase, is likely to have an impact on the dynamics of the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in neurons, thus promoting neuronal migration and neurite outgrowth [13].
  • In addition, p35/Cdk5 kinase concentrates at the leading edges of axonal growth cones and regulates neurite outgrowth in cortical neurons in culture [13].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of CDK5

 

Biological context of CDK5

  • Finally, we provide evidence that the CDK5-p25 complex employs a distinct mechanism from the phospho-CDK2-cyclin A complex to establish substrate specificity [19].
  • In this study, we have examined the kinetic characteristics of in vitro phosphorylation of the longest isoform of human tau by CDK5 and its activators using recombinant proteins [7].
  • We have used site-directed mutagenesis ("charged to alanine") and molecular modeling techniques to probe the recognition interactions for substrate peptide (PKTPKKAKKL) derived from histone H1 docked in the active site of CDK5 [20].
  • Specifically, aberrant activation of cell cycle CDKs or CDK5 is associated with apoptosis and neuronal dysfunction in response to various neuronal stressors [21].
  • Inhibition of CDK5 is protective in necrotic and apoptotic paradigms of neuronal cell death and prevents mitochondrial dysfunction [22].
 

Anatomical context of CDK5

  • CDK5 plays an indispensable role in the central nervous system, and its deregulation is involved in neurodegeneration [19].
  • This has led to the hypothesis that increased p25 levels could promote neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) through CDK5-mediated hyperphosphorylation of tau, the principal component of NFTs [23].
  • In this study we report that both the p35 and CDK5 genes are expressed in insulin-producing beta-cells of the pancreas [24].
  • OBJECTIVES: We sought to investigate the expression and functions of CDK5 in human keratinocytes [2].
  • This expression, restricted to podocytes in mature glomeruli, appears associated with CDK5 [25].
 

Associations of CDK5 with chemical compounds

  • A detailed analysis is presented of the dynamics of human CDK5 in complexes with the protein activator p25 and the purine-like inhibitor roscovitine [26].
  • Our findings indicate that the expression of p35 and CDK5 in insulin-producing beta-cells ensembles a new signaling pathway, the activity of which is controlled by glucose, and its functional role may comprise the regulation of various biological processes in beta-cells, such as is the case for expression of the insulin gene [24].
  • Phosphorylation of STAT3 at Serine 727 by CDK5 decreased during serum deprivation, and partly recovered by mu-opioid agonist [27].
  • Overexpression of CDK5 in serum-free medium reversed activation of caspase cascade and augmented DAMGO neuroprotection [27].
  • BACKGROUND: CDK5 is a member of proline-directed serine/threonine kinases [2].
 

Physical interactions of CDK5

  • In turn, the p25/Cdk5 complex aberrantly phosphorylates its substrates tau and neurofilaments, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of these disorders [28].
  • OBJECTIVE: To analyze cdk5/p35 complex, a kinase that regulates neurite outgrowth, as a potential cellular mechanism underlying tau phosphorylation in brain tissues from PSP and control cases and comparatively in cerebral cortex from subjects with AD [29].
 

Enzymatic interactions of CDK5

  • Although the kinase activity of CDK5 in phosphorylating tau was significantly higher in the presence of p25, the affinity of CDK5 for tau was not different [7].
  • DARPP-32 is also phosphorylated at Thr75 by Cdk5 and this converts DARPP-32 into an inhibitor of PKA [30].
  • Amphiphysin is phosphorylated by cdk5 in a region including serines 272, 276, and 285 [31].
  • These results demonstrate that CDK-5 is a major proline-directed kinase phosphorylating the human NF-H tail domain [32].
 

Co-localisations of CDK5

 

Regulatory relationships of CDK5

 

Other interactions of CDK5

  • They also play a role in apoptosis (CDK2), in neuronal cells (CDK5) and in the control of transcription (CDK 7, 8, 9) [37].
  • Although GW8510 inhibits CDK2 and other CDKs when tested in in vitro biochemical assays, when used on cultured neurons it only inhibits CDK5, a cytoplasmic CDK that is not associated with cell-cycle progression [38].
  • Western blotting of the intermediate filament-enriched cytoskeletal fraction and coimmunoprecipitation of nestin with anti-CDK5 antibodies confirmed these results [25].
  • Anti-cdk5 antibody diffusely stained the perikarya of some tau2-positive or neurofibrillary tangle (NFT)-bearing neurons in ATD brains, while cdk5-positive staining was scarcely found in control brains [39].
  • Secondly, unlike the other members of the Cdk family, Cdk5 is not activated by association with a cyclin, although it can bind them [28].
