SAK1/YER129W Summary Help

Standard Name SAK1 1, 2 (see Nomenclature conflict Note)
Systematic Name YER129W
Alias PAK1 3
Feature Type ORF, Verified
Description Upstream serine/threonine kinase for the SNF1 complex; partially redundant with Elm1p and Tos3p; members of this family have functional orthology with LKB1, a mammalian kinase associated with Peutz-Jeghers cancer-susceptibility syndrome; SAK1 has a paralog, TOS3, that arose from the whole genome duplication (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
Name Description Snf1 Activating Kinase 1

NOMENCLATURE CONFLICT NOTE

NameRelevanceDescription
PRK1Nomenclature conflictPAK1 has been used to refer to both YER129W, a protein kinase that has been shown to phosphorylate Snf1p, and PRK1/YIL095W, a protein kinase involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Note that neither protein is the ortholog of the mammalian p21-activated protein kinase PAK1.
