Knockdown of Expression of Cdk5 or p35 (a Cdk5 Activator) Results in Podocyte Apoptosis. [PDF]
Podocytes are terminally differentiated glomerular epithelial cells. Podocyte loss has been found in many renal diseases. Cdk5 is a cyclin-dependent protein kinase which is predominantly regulated by p35.

AbstractCdk5 is a proline-directed serine/threonine protein kinase that governs a variety of cellular processes in neurons, the dysregulation of which compromises normal brain function. The mechanisms underlying the modulation of Cdk5, its modes of action, and its effects on the nervous system have been a great focus in the field for nearly three ...

Structural Insights into Cdk5 Activation by a Neuronal Cdk5 Activator [PDF]
Although Cdk5 shows high sequence identity to Cdk1 and Cdk2, it can be fully activated by its neuronal activators p35/p25(nck5a) and p39(nck5ai) in a phosphorylation-independent manner. To understand structural basis of the Cdk5/p25(nck5a) activation, the complex is modelled to assume either an obstructed or an opened conformation based on X-ray ...

Cdk5 regulates Rap1 activity [PDF]
Rap1 signaling is important for migration, differentiation, axonal growth, and during neuronal polarity. Rap1 can be activated by external stimuli, which in turn regulates specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors such as C3G, among others. Cdk5 functions are also important to neuronal migration and differentiation.

Role of caspases, calpain and cdk5 in ammonia-induced cell death in developing brain cells
Hyperammonemia in neonates and infants causes irreversible damages in the developing CNS due to brain cell loss. Elucidating the mechanisms triggering ammonia-induced cell death in CNS is necessary for the development of neuroprotective strategies.

CDK5-mediated phosphorylation and stabilization of TPX2 promotes hepatocellular tumorigenesis
Background CDK5, an atypical member of the CDK family, play a significant role in the tumorigenesis of multiple organ, but CDK5 and its substrates in genesis and development of HCC is still unclear.
