Anchoring proteins encounter mitotic kinases [PDF]
Defective progression of cells through mitosis permits an accumulation of genetic defects that lead to aneuploidy. Cells in a state of aneuploidy acquire mutations that eventually cause their transformation from normal cells into cancer.1 Recent evidence suggests that perturbing the spatial and temporal pattern of cell division can enhance such ...

A Flagellar A-Kinase Anchoring Protein with Two Amphipathic Helices Forms a Structural Scaffold in the Radial Spoke Complex [PDF]
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) contain an amphipathic helix (AH) that binds the dimerization and docking (D/D) domain, RIIa, in cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). Many AKAPs were discovered solely based on the AH–RIIa interaction in vitro.

Anchored phosphatases modulate glucose homeostasis. [PDF]
Endocrine release of insulin principally controls glucose homeostasis. Nutrient-induced exocytosis of insulin granules from pancreatic β-cells involves ion channels and mobilization of Ca(2+) and cyclic AMP (cAMP) signalling pathways.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms alter kinase anchoring and the subcellular targeting of A-kinase anchoring proteins [PDF]
Significance Dissemination of chemical information throughout the cell is a fundamental biological process with clinical relevance. Pathological changes in local signaling enzyme activity are linked to diseases, including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and seizures.

Mice with Disrupted Type I Protein Kinase A Anchoring in T Cells Resist Retrovirus-Induced Immunodeficiency [PDF]
Type I protein kinase A (PKA) is targeted to the TCR-proximal signaling machinery by the A-kinase anchoring protein ezrin and negatively regulates T cell immune function through activation of the C-terminal Src kinase.

AKAP-Lbc mobilizes a cardiac hypertrophy signaling pathway. [PDF]
Elevated catecholamines in the heart evoke transcriptional activation of the Myocyte Enhancer Factor (MEF) pathway to induce a cellular response known as pathological myocardial hypertrophy.

Steady-state modulation of voltage-gated K+ channels in rat arterial smooth muscle by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and protein phosphatase 2B [PDF]
Voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv) are important regulators of membrane potential in vascular smooth muscle cells, which is integral to controlling intracellular Ca2+ concentration and regulating vascular tone. Previous work indicates that Kv channels

Gravin orchestrates protein kinase A and 2-adrenergic receptor signaling critical for synaptic plasticity and memory [PDF]
A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) organize compartmentalized pools of protein kinase A (PKA) to enable localized signaling events within neurons. However, it is unclear which of the many expressed AKAPs in neurons target PKA to signaling complexes ...
