| Gene Description | The second messenger cyclic AMP activates cAMP-dependent protein kinase in mammalian cells and controls many cellular mechanisms such as gene transcription, ion transport, and protein phosphorylation. Inactive PKA is a heterotetramer composed of a regulatory subunit dimer and a catalytic subunit dimer. In this inactive state, the pseudosubstrate sequences on the R subunits block the active sites on the C subunits. Three C subunit isoforms and two families of regulatory subunits with distinct cAMP binding properties have been identified. The two R families exist in two isoforms, α and β. Upon binding of cAMP to the R subunits, the autoinhibitory contact is eased and active monomeric C subunits are released. PKA shares substrate specificity with Akt and PKC, which are characterized by an arginine at position -3 relative to the phosphorylated serine or threonine residue. Substrates that present this consensus sequence and have been shown to be phosphorylated by PKA are Bad, CREB, and GSK-3. In addition, combined knock-down of PKA C-α and -β blocks cAMP-mediated phosphorylation of Raf. Autophosphorylation and phosphorylation by PDK-1 are two known mechanisms responsible for phosphorylation of the C subunit at Thr197. |
