Targeting of protein kinases and phosphatases to the cytoskeleton enhances the regulation of many signalling events. Cytoskeletal signalling complexes facilitate this process by optimizing the relay of messages from membrane receptors to specific sites on the actin cytoskeleton. These signals influence fundamental cell properties such as shape, movement and division. Targeting of the cAMP-dependent kinase (protein kinase A) and other enzymes to this compartment is achieved through interaction with A-kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs). The present paper discusses recent progress on dissecting the biological role of WAVE1 (Wiskott–Alrich syndrome protein family verprolin homology protein 1), an AKAP that assembles a cytoskeletal transduction complex in response to signals that emanate from the low-molecular-mass GTPase, Rac.

A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) have been proposed to regulate cAMP-dependent signaling in the cell by targeting RII subunits of protein kinase A (PKA) to specific subcellular compartments. RIIβ is the predominant PKA subtype in adipose tissue. In gel overlay assays of C3H/10T1/2 adipocytes and adipose tissue, RIIβ bound to several proteins including a prominent 132-kDa band, which was strongly induced upon differentiation of C3H/10T1/2 cells into adipocytes. Immunoblotting and nuclease protection analysis of C3H/10T1/2 cellular extracts identified this band as D-AKAP1/S-AKAP84, a putative AKAP. Immunocytochemical analysis of C3H/10T1/2 adipocytes revealed that most of D-AKAP1/S-AKAP84, but not RIIβ, was colocalized with a mitochondrial-selective dye, MitoTracker red. These findings were further confirmed in studies where D-AKAP1/ S-AKAP84, but not RIIβ, were localized in purified mitochondria made from C3H/10T1/2 adipocytes. Moreover, D-AKAP1, which is upregulated after differentiation, did not recruit RIIβto membrane fractions enriched in mitochondria. These results demonstrate that D-AKAP1/S-AKAP84 does not interact with PKA in differentiated C3H/10T1/2 adipocytes under the conditions tested.

It is becoming increasingly evident that the freely diffusible second messenger cAMP can transduce specific responses by localized signalling. The machinery that underpins compartmentalized cAMP signalling is only now becoming appreciated. Adenylate cyclases, the enzymes that synthesize cAMP, are localized at discrete parts of the plasma membrane, and phosphodiesterases, the enzymes that degrade cAMP, can be targeted to selected subcellular compartments. A-kinase-anchoring proteins then serve to anchor PKA (protein kinase A) close to specific targets, resulting in selective activation. The specific activation of such individual subsets of PKA requires that cAMP is made available in discrete compartments. In this presentation, the molecular and structural mechanisms responsible for compartmentalized PKA signalling and restricted diffusion of cAMP will be discussed.

Protein phosphorylation is the most common post-translational modification observed in cell signaling and is controlled by the balance between protein kinase and phosphatase activities. The cAMP–protein kinase A (PKA) pathway is one of the most studied and well-known signal pathways. To maintain a high level of specificity, the cAMP–PKA pathway is tightly regulated in space and time. A-kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) target PKA to specific substrates and distinct subcellular compartments providing spatial and temporal specificity in the mediation of biological effects controlled by the cAMP–PKA pathway. AKAPs also serve as scaffolding proteins that assemble PKA together with signal terminators such as phosphoprotein phosphatases and cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases as well as components of other signaling pathways into multiprotein-signaling complexes.
