Phosphorylation/Dephosphorylation<br />

Protein Kinase A (PKA; cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase) <strong>Inhibitor</strong>s<br />

The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase<br />

A; PKA) pathway is one of the most versatile signaling<br />

pathways in eukaryotic cells. Various extracellular<br />

signals converge on this signaling pathway through<br />

ligand binding to G protein-coupled receptors. Hence,<br />

the PKA pathway is tightly regulated at several levels to<br />

maintain specificity in the multitude of signal inputs.<br />

PKA is composed of two regulatory and two catalytic<br />

subunits. In the holoenzyme, the regulatory subunits<br />

are bound to the active site of the catalytic subunits,<br />

inactivating them. Binding of cAMP to the regulatory<br />

subunits causes a conformational change that releases<br />

and activates the two catalytic subunits. The active<br />

catalytic subunits can then phosphorylate serine and/or<br />

threonine residues on the substrates in the cytosol and<br />

in the nucleus. When the levels of cAMP begin to fall,<br />

the regulatory subunits regain their affinity towards the<br />

catalytic subunits and form the inactive holoenzyme. If<br />

cAMP levels remain persistently elevated, many cells<br />

change their behavior and may either differentiate,<br />

proliferate, or undergo apoptosis.<br />

PKA holoenzyme exists in two forms, type I and<br />

type II. They contain identical catalytic subunits;<br />

however, their regulatory subunits differ (RI or RII<br />

dimer). Type I holoenzyme is predominantly cytosolic,<br />

whereas type II holoenzyme is compartmentalized to<br />

subcellular organelles via specific anchoring proteins.<br />

The turnover rate of free type I regulatory subunit<br />

is significantly higher than that of type II subunits.<br />

When free catalytic subunit is microinjected into the<br />

cytoplasm of intact cells, it migrates to the nucleus,<br />

whereas the free regulatory subunit remains only in<br />

the cytoplasm following microinjection. When both<br />

subunits are co-injected, the regulatory subunit blocks<br />

the nuclear migration of the catalytic subunit. CREB<br />

is a major nuclear target for the catalytic subunit that<br />

binds to cAMP response elements (CREs) in the promoter<br />

regions of cAMP-responsive genes. Phosphorylation of<br />

CREB proteins alters their ability to form dimers and to<br />

interact with CREs.<br />
