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.

The RIα subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) binds to Grb2 and allows PKA interaction with the activated EGF-Receptor [PDF]
Functional interactions between protein kinase A (PKA) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) signalling pathways have been suggested. Unlike the type II isoform of PKA (PKAII), the type I (PKAI) and/or its regulatory subunit RIalpha are generally overexpressed in cancer cells and are induced following transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha)/

Molecular Basis for Ser/Thr Specificity in PKA Signaling
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

Oncogenic PKA signaling increases c-MYC protein expression through multiple targetable mechanisms
Genetic alterations that activate protein kinase A (PKA) are found in many tumor types. Yet, their downstream oncogenic signaling mechanisms are poorly understood.

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid exerts anticholestatic effects by a cooperative cPKC alpha-/PKA-dependent mechanism in rat liver. [PDF]
Objective: Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) exerts anticholestatic effects in part by protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent mechanisms. Its taurine conjugate, TUDCA, is a cPKCa agonist.

Defining A‐Kinase Anchoring Protein (AKAP) Specificity for the Protein Kinase A Subunit RI (PKA‐RI) [PDF]
AbstractA‐Kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) act as spatial and temporal regulators of protein kinase A (PKA) by localizing PKA along with multiple proteins into discrete signaling complexes. AKAPs interact with the PKA holoenzyme through an α‐helix that docks into a groove formed on the dimerization/docking domain of PKA‐R in an isoform‐dependent ...

Correlation of Human Protein Kinase a (PKA) and G-Glycoprotein in Patients with T2DM
Background: Type 2 diabetes usually starts with insulin resistance—a condition that happens when muscle, fat, and liver cells cannot use insulin to deliver glucose into the cells of the body for energy use. Materials and Methods: The group subjected to this study consists of 45 type

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 ...

The allosteric mechanism induced by protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of dematin (band 4.9). [PDF]
Dematin (band 4.9) is an F-actin binding and bundling protein best known for its role within red blood cells, where it both stabilizes as well as attaches the spectrin/actin cytoskeleton to the erythrocytic membrane. Here, we investigate the structural consequences of phosphorylating serine 381, a covalent modification that turns off F-actin bundling ...
