Protein: Serine/threonine-protein kinase MRCK beta (EC 2.7.11.1) (CDC42-binding protein kinase beta) (DMPK-like beta) (Myotonic dystrophy kinase-related CDC42-binding kinase beta) (MRCK beta) (Myotonic dystrophy protein kinase-like beta) (Q7TT49)
Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is an important downstream effector of CDC42 and plays a role in the regulation of cytoskeleton reorganization and cell migration. Regulates actin cytoskeletal reorganization via phosphorylation of PPP1R12C and MYL9/MLC2. In concert with MYO18A and LURAP1, is involved in modulating lamellar actomyosin retrograde flow that is crucial to cell protrusion and migration. Phosphorylates PPP1R12A. In concert with FAM89B/LRAP25 mediates the targeting of LIMK1 to the lamellipodium resulting in its activation and subsequent phosphorylation of CFL1 which is important for lamellipodial F-actin regulation (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21240187}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21240187}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21240187}. Cell junction {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21240187}. Cell projection, lamellipodium {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3UU96}. Note=Displays a dispersed punctate distribution and concentrates along the cell periphery, especially at the leading edge and cell-cell junction. This concentration is PH-domain dependent (By similarity). Detected at the leading edge of migrating and wounded cells; this localization requires the presence of catalytically active CDC42 (PubMed:21240187). Localizes in the lamellipodium in a FAM89B/LRAP25-dependent manner (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O54874, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3UU96, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21240187}.
