Distinct enzyme combinations in AKAP signalling complexes permit functional diversity.

ABSTRACT: Specificity in cell signalling can be influenced by the targeting of different enzyme combinations to substrates. The A-kinase anchoring protein AKAP79/150 is a multivalent scaffolding protein that coordinates the subcellular localization of second-messenger-regulated enzymes, such as protein kinase A, protein kinase C and protein phosphatase 2B. We developed a new strategy that combines RNA interference of the endogenous protein with a protocol that selects cells that have been rescued with AKAP79/150 forms that are unable to anchor selected enzymes. Using this approach, we show that AKAP79/150 coordinates different enzyme combinations to modulate the activity of two distinct neuronal ion channels: AMPA-type glutamate receptors and M-type potassium channels. Utilization of distinct enzyme combinations in this manner provides a means to expand the repertoire of cellular events that the same AKAP modulates.

Project description:1. 2-(N'-Acetyl-L-phenylalanyl)hydroxyethyl 2'-pyridyl disulphide (compound V) was synthesized, and a study of the pH-dependence of the second-order rate constant (k) for its reaction with the catalytic-site thiol group of papain (EC 3.4.22.2) was used to evaluate the consequences for transition-state geometry of the presence of a hydrophobic occupant for the S2 subsite of the enzyme in the absence of the N-H component of the P1-P2 amide bond. 2. Comparison of the pH-dependences of K for reactions of compound (V), 2-(acetamido)ethyl 2'-pyridyl disulphide (compound I) and 2-(acetoxy)ethyl 2'-pyridyl disulphide (compound III) with the cysteine-proteinase minimal catalytic-site model, benzimidazol-2-ylmethanethiol, established the activation of all of these pyridyl disulphides by hydronation and that their reactivities are relatively insensitive to structural change in the non-pyridyl part of the molecule. The marked differences in their reactivities towards papain therefore derive from binding, either directly, or indirectly via signalling mechanisms. 3. Comparison of the kinetic data for the reaction of papain with compound (V) with those for analogous reactions with reactivity probes that provide opportunities for a variety of binding interactions in the S1-S2 intersubsite region and in the S2 subsite itself lead to the following conclusions: (a) the (Gly-66) N-H...O = C less than (P1-P2 ester) interaction of papain with compound (III) provides for better binding relative to that for a probe with a simple hydrocarbon side chain, but no signalling to the catalytic site to provide a (His-159)-ImH+-assisted transition state; (b) when this interaction is augmented either by a (P1-P2 amide) N-H...O = C less than (Asp-158) interaction (compound I) or hydrophobic P2/S2 contacts (compound V), signalling to the catalytic region occurs to provide the assisted transition state; (c) when both the P2/S2 contacts and the interaction involving Gly-66 exist, provision additionally of the (P1-P2 amide) N-H...O = C less than (Asp-158) interaction [as in 2-(N'-acetyl-L-phenylalanylamino)ethyl 2'-pyridyl disulphide] serves only to assist the binding without an additional signalling effect. 4. Such studies promise to allow binding interactions that merely locate substrates in appropriate enzyme loci to be distinguished from those that transmit signals with a chemical consequence to catalytic sites.
