PKA and PDE4D3 anchoring to AKAP9 provides distinct regulation of cAMP signals at the centrosome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Previous work has shown that the protein kinase A (PKA)–regulated phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4D3 binds to A kinase–anchoring proteins (AKAPs). One such protein, AKAP9, localizes to the centrosome.

Liberated PKA Catalytic Subunits Associate with the Membrane via Myristoylation to Preferentially Phosphorylate Membrane Substrates

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: Protein kinase A (PKA) has diverse functions in neurons. At rest, the subcellular localization of PKA is controlled by A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). However, the dynamics of PKA upon activation remain poorly understood.

Molecular Basis for Ser/Thr Specificity in PKA Signaling

open access: yesCells, 2020
cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is the major receptor of the second messenger cAMP and a prototype for Ser/Thr-specific protein kinases. Although PKA strongly prefers serine over threonine substrates, little is known about the molecular basis of this

Gravin orchestrates protein kinase A and 2-adrenergic receptor signaling critical for synaptic plasticity and memory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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 ...

Oncogenic PKA signaling increases c-MYC protein expression through multiple targetable mechanisms

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Genetic alterations that activate protein kinase A (PKA) are found in many tumor types. Yet, their downstream oncogenic signaling mechanisms are poorly understood.

Benchmarking pKa prediction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: pKa values are a measure of the protonation of ionizable groups in proteins. Ionizable groups are involved in intra-protein, protein-solvent and protein-ligand interactions as well as solubility, protein folding and catalytic activity.

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 controls protein kinase A activation state through phosphodiesterase 4

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Evidence indicates a cross-regulation between two kinases, leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and protein kinase A (PKA). In neurons, LRRK2 negatively regulates PKA activity in spiny projecting neurons during synaptogenesis and in response ...

Activation of PKA via asymmetric allosteric coupling of structurally conserved cyclic nucleotide binding domains

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Protein kinase A (PKA) is a cyclic nucleotide dependent protein kinase. Here the authors use single molecule optical tweezers and steered molecular dynamic simulations to follow in real time and quantitatively characterize the signals transduced by cAMP ...

Functional mapping of protein kinase A reveals its importance in adult Schistosoma mansoni motor activity.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
Cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase/protein kinase A (PKA) is the major transducer of cAMP signalling in eukaryotic cells. Here, using laser scanning confocal microscopy and 'smart' anti-phospho PKA antibodies that exclusively detect activated PKA,

The role of type 4 phosphodiesterases in generating microdomains of cAMP: Large scale stochastic simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) and its main effector Protein Kinase A (PKA) are critical for several aspects of neuronal function including synaptic plasticity. Specificity of synaptic plasticity requires that cAMP activates PKA in a highly localized manner despite ...
