General info

Function

p35 is a neuron specific activator of CDK5. The complex p35/CDK5 is required for neurite outgrowth and cortical lamination. Involved in dendritic spine morphogenesis by mediating the EFNA1-EPHA4 signaling. Activator of TPKII. The complex p35/CDK5 participates in the regulation of the circadian clock by modulating the function of CLOCK protein : phosphorylates CLOCK at 'Thr-451' and 'Thr-461' and regulates the transcriptional activity of the CLOCK-BMAL1 heterodimer in association with altered stability and subcellular distribution.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the cyclin-dependent kinase 5 activator family.

Post-translational modifications

The p35 form is proteolytically cleaved by calpain, giving rise to the p25 form. P35 has a 5 to 10 fold shorter half-life compared to p25. The conversion results in deregulation of the CDK5 kinase: p25/CDK5 kinase displays an increased and altered tau phosphorylation in comparison to the p35/CDK5 kinase in vivo (By similarity).. Myristoylated. A proper myristoylation signal is essential for the proper distribution of p35.. Ubiquitinated, leading to its degradation: degradation of p35 by proteasome results in down-regulation of CDK5 activity (PubMed:12393264). During this process, CDK5 phosphorylates p35 and induces its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation (PubMed:12393264). Ubiquitinated by the CRL2(FEM1B) complex, which recognizes the -Gly-Leu-Asp-Arg C-degron at the C-terminus, leading to its degradation (PubMed:33398168, PubMed:33398170).. Phosphorylation at Ser-8 and Thr-138 by CDK5 prevents calpain-mediated proteolysis.
