The biological functions of A-kinase anchor proteins

Journal of Molecular Biology
A FelicielloE V Avvedimento

Abstract

cAMP-dependent protein kinase is targeted to discrete subcellular locations by a family of specific anchor proteins (A-kinase anchor proteins, AKAPs). Localization recruits protein kinase A (PKA) holoenzyme close to its substrate/effector proteins, directing and amplifying the biological effects of cAMP signaling.AKAPs include two conserved structural modules: (i) a targeting domain that serves as a scaffold and membrane anchor; and (ii) a tethering domain that interacts with PKA regulatory subunits. Alternative splicing can shuffle targeting and tethering domains to generate a variety of AKAPs with different targeting specificity. Although AKAPs have been identified on the basis of their interaction with PKA, they also bind other signaling molecules, mainly phosphatases and kinases, that regulate AKAP targeting and activate other signal transduction pathways. We suggest that AKAP forms a "transduceosome" by acting as an autonomous multivalent scaffold that assembles and integrates signals derived from multiple pathways. The transduceosome amplifies cAMP and other signals locally and, by stabilizing and reducing the basal activity of PKA, it also exerts long-distance effects. The AKAP transduceosome thus optimizes the amplitude...Continue Reading
