Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of heart failure worldwide. The Z-line protein Cypher/Z-band alternatively spliced PDZ-motif protein (ZASP) is closely associated with DCM, both clinically and in animal models.

A-kinase anchoring in dendritic cells is required for antigen presentation. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DC) are the most potent antigen presenting cells (APC) of the immune system. Prostaglandin E(2), cyclic AMP, and protein kinase A (PKA) have all been shown to regulate DC maturation and activity.

Regulation of AKAP-Membrane Interactions by Calcium [PDF]
The AKAP gravin is a scaffold for protein kinases, phosphatases, and adaptor molecules obligate for resensitization and recycling of beta2-adrenergic receptors. Gravin binds to the receptor through well characterized protein-protein interactions. These interactions are facilitated approximately 1000-fold when gravin is anchored to the cytoplasmic ...

Exploring AKAPs in visual signaling. [PDF]
The complex nature of the retina demands well-organized signaling to uphold signal accuracy and avoid interference, a critical aspect in handling a variety of visual stimuli. A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs), known for binding protein kinase A (PKA), contribute to the specificity and efficiency of retinal signaling.

Protein kinase A activity and anchoring are required for ovarian cancer cell migration and invasion. [PDF]
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest of the gynecological malignancies, due in part to its clinically occult metastasis. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms governing EOC dissemination and invasion may provide new targets for ...

Hidden Multivalency in Phosphatase Recruitment by a Disordered AKAP Scaffold [PDF]
Abstract Disordered scaffold proteins provide multivalent landing pads that, via a series of embedded Short Linear Motifs (SLiMs), bring together the components of a complex to orchestrate precise spatial and temporal regulation of cellular processes.
