PKA and PDE4D3 anchoring to AKAP9 provides distinct regulation of cAMP signals at the centrosome.

ABSTRACT: Previous work has shown that the protein kinase A (PKA)-regulated phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4D3 binds to A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs). One such protein, AKAP9, localizes to the centrosome. In this paper, we investigate whether a PKA-PDE4D3-AKAP9 complex can generate spatial compartmentalization of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling at the centrosome. Real-time imaging of fluorescence resonance energy transfer reporters shows that centrosomal PDE4D3 modulated a dynamic microdomain within which cAMP concentration selectively changed over the cell cycle. AKAP9-anchored, centrosomal PKA showed a reduced activation threshold as a consequence of increased autophosphorylation of its regulatory subunit at S114. Finally, disruption of the centrosomal cAMP microdomain by local displacement of PDE4D3 impaired cell cycle progression as a result of accumulation of cells in prophase. Our findings describe a novel mechanism of PKA activity regulation that relies on binding to AKAPs and consequent modulation of the enzyme activation threshold rather than on overall changes in cAMP levels. Further, we provide for the first time direct evidence that control of cell cycle progression relies on unique regulation of centrosomal cAMP/PKA signals.

Project description:One of the crucial cardiac signaling pathways is cAMP-mediated PKA signal transduction, which is regulated by a family of scaffolding proteins, i.e., A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). Muscle-specific AKAP (mAKAP) partly regulates cardiac cAMP/PKA signaling by binding to PKA and phosphodiesterase 4D3 (PDE4D3), among other proteins, and plays a central role in modulating cardiac remodeling. Moreover, genetics plays an incomparable role in modifying the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in various proteins have especially been shown to predispose individuals to CVDs. Hence, we hypothesized that human mAKAP polymorphisms found in humans with CVDs alter the cAMP/PKA pathway, influencing the susceptibility of individuals to CVDs. Our computational analyses revealed two mAKAP SNPs found in cardiac disease-related patients with the highest predicted deleterious effects, Ser 1653 Arg (S1653R) and Glu 2124 Gly (E2124G). Coimmunoprecipitation data in human embryonic kidney-293T cells showed that the S1653R SNP, present in the PDE4D3-binding domain of mAKAP, changed the binding of PDE4D3 to mAKAP and that the E2124G SNP, flanking the 3'-PKA binding domain, changed the binding of PKA before and after stimulation with isoproterenol. These SNPs significantly altered intracellular cAMP levels, global PKA activity, and cytosolic PDE activity compared with the wild type before and after isoproterenol stimulation. PKA-mediated phosphorylation of pathological markers was found to be upregulated after cell stimulation in both mutants. In conclusion, human mAKAP polymorphisms may influence the propensity of developing CVDs by affecting cAMP/PKA signaling, supporting the clinical significance of PKA-mAKAP-PDE4D3 interactions. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We found that single-nucleotide polymorphisms in muscle-specific A-kinase anchoring protein found in human patients with cardiovascular diseases significantly affect the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. Our results showed, for the first time, that human muscle-specific A-kinase anchoring protein polymorphisms might alter the susceptibility of individuals to develop cardiovascular diseases with known underlying molecular mechanisms.
