MAPK6 and MAPKAPK5 bind to the GDP-exchange factor KALRN, also known as Kalirin-7 or KAL7 (Brand et al, 2012). CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation of KALRN7 results in activation of PAK kinases in dendritic spines, potentially establishing a positive feedback loop that governs the MAPK6:MAPKAPK5 module in neuronal developement (Penzes et al, 2003; Xie et al, 2007).
