The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) activates cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA or cAPK) 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 (R) dimer and a catalytic subunit (C) dimer.
In this inactive state, the pseudosubstrate sequences on the R subunits block the active sites on the C subunits.
Three C subunit isoforms (C-alpha, C-beta, and C-gamma) and two families of regulatory subunits (RI and RII) with distinct cAMP binding properties have been identified.
The two R families exist in two isoforms, alpha and beta (RI-alpha, RI-beta, RII-alpha, and RII-beta).
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 (PKB) 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 (Ser155), CREB (Ser133), and GSK-3 (GSK-3alpha Ser21 and GSK-3beta Ser9).
In addition, combined knock-down of PKA C-alpha and -beta blocks cAMP-mediated phosphorylation of Raf (Ser43 and Ser259).
Autophosphorylation and phosphorylation by PDK-1 are two known mechanisms responsible for phosphorylation of the C subunit at Thr197.
