Protein kinase A-anchoring (AKAP) domains in brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide-exchange protein 2 (BIG2) [PDF]
Like other guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins (GEPs) that activate ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) GTPases, brefeldin A-inhibited GEP2, BIG2, contains an ≈200-aa Sec7 domain that is responsible for this catalytic activity and its inhibition by brefeldin A.

A systematic evaluation of protein kinase a-a-kinase anchoring protein interaction motifs [PDF]
Protein kinase A (PKA) in vertebrates is localized to specific locations in the cell via A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). The regulatory subunits of the four PKA isoforms (RIα, RIβ, RIIα, and RIIβ) each form a homodimer, and their dimerization domain

Subcellular drug targeting illuminates local kinase action
Deciphering how signaling enzymes operate within discrete microenvironments is fundamental to understanding biological processes. A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) restrict the range of action of protein kinases within intracellular compartments.

ABSTRACT Background Sperm cryopreservation causes cryodamage, but the roles of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and stress granules (SGs) in this process remain unclear. Objectives To investigate the molecular mechanism of cryodamage via the TRIM21–AKAP3 axis, PTMs, and SGs.

Disruptors of AKAP-Dependent Protein–Protein Interactions
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) are a family of multivalent scaffolding proteins. They engage in direct protein-protein interactions with protein kinases, kinase substrates and further signaling molecules.

Decreased AKAP4/PKA signaling pathway in high DFI sperm affects sperm capacitation
The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is a metric used to assess DNA fragmentation within sperm. During in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), high sperm DFI can lead to a low fertilization rate, poor embryo development, early miscarriage ...

Sperm protein 17 is expressed in the sperm fibrous sheath
Background Sperm protein 17 (Sp17) is a highly conserved mammalian protein characterized in rabbit, mouse, monkey, baboon, macaque, human testis and spermatozoa. mRNA encoding Sp17 has been detected in a range of murine and human somatic tissues.

Compartmentalisation in cAMP signalling: A phase separation perspective
Cells rely on precise spatiotemporal control of signalling pathways to ensure functional specificity. The compartmentalisation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) signalling enables distinct cellular responses within a crowded cytoplasmic space.

Roles of A-Kinase Anchoring Proteins and Phosphodiesterases in the Cardiovascular System
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are essential enzymes in the cyclic adenosine 3’-5’ monophosphate (cAMP) signaling cascade.
