Function
KAPCA_MOUSE Phosphorylates a large number of substrates in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Regulates the abundance of compartmentalized pools of its regulatory subunits through phosphorylation of PJA2 which binds and ubiquitinates these subunits, leading to their subsequent proteolysis. Phosphorylates CDC25B, ABL1, NFKB1, CLDN3, PSMC5/RPT6, PJA2, RYR2, RORA, TRPC1 and VASP. RORA is activated by phosphorylation. Required for glucose-mediated adipogenic differentiation increase and osteogenic differentiation inhibition from osteoblasts. Involved in the regulation of platelets in response to thrombin and collagen; maintains circulating platelets in a resting state by phosphorylating proteins in numerous platelet inhibitory pathways when in complex with NF-kappa-B (NFKB1 and NFKB2) and I-kappa-B-alpha (NFKBIA), but thrombin and collagen disrupt these complexes and free active PRKACA stimulates platelets and leads to platelet aggregation by phosphorylating VASP. Prevents the antiproliferative and anti-invasive effects of alpha-difluoromethylornithine in breast cancer cells when activated. RYR2 channel activity is potentiated by phosphorylation in presence of luminal Ca(2+), leading to reduced amplitude and increased frequency of store overload-induced Ca(2+) release (SOICR) characterized by an increased rate of Ca(2+) release and propagation velocity of spontaneous Ca(2+) waves, despite reduced wave amplitude and resting cytosolic Ca(2+). TRPC1 activation by phosphorylation promotes Ca(2+) influx, essential for the increase in permeability induced by thrombin in confluent endothelial monolayers. PSMC5/RPT6 activation by phosphorylation stimulates proteasome. Regulates negatively tight junction (TJs) in ovarian cancer cells via CLDN3 phosphorylation. NFKB1 phosphorylation promotes NF-kappa-B p50-p50 DNA binding. Involved in embryonic development by down-regulating the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway that determines embryo pattern formation and morphogenesis. Isoform 2 phosphorylates and activates ABL1 in sperm flagellum to promote spermatozoa capacitation. Prevents meiosis resumption in prophase-arrested oocytes via CDC25B inactivation by phosphorylation. May also regulate rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in the pedunculopontine tegmental (PPT).[1] [2] [3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
BACKGROUND: cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK), a ubiquitous protein in eukaryotic cells, is one of the simplest members of the protein kinase family. It was the first protein kinase to be crystallized and continues to serve as a biochemical and structural prototype for this family of enzymes. To further understand the conformational changes that occur in different liganded and unliganded states of cAPK, the catalytic subunit of cAPK was crystallized in the absence of peptide inhibitor. RESULTS: The crystal structure of the catalytic subunit of mouse recombinant cAPK (rC) complexed with adenosine was solved at 2.6 A resolution and refined to a crystallographic R factor of 21.9% with good stereochemical parameters. This is the first structure of the rC subunit that lacks a bound inhibitor or substrate peptide. The structure was solved by molecular replacement and comprises two lobes (large and small) which contain a number of conserved loops. CONCLUSIONS: The binary complex of rC and adenosine adopts an 'intermediate' conformation relative to the previously described 'closed' and 'open' conformations of other rC complexes. Based on a comparison of these structures, the induced fit that is necessary for catalysis and closing of the active-site cleft appears to be confined to the small lobe, as in the absence of the peptide the conformation of the large lobe, including the peptide-docking surface, does not change. Three specific components contribute to the closing of the cleft: rotation of the small lobe; movement of the C-terminal tail; and closing of the so-called glycine-rich loop. There is no induced fit in the large lobe to accommodate the peptide and the closing of the cleft. A portion of the C-terminal tail, residues 315-334, serves as a gate for the entry or exit of the nucleotide into the hydrophobic active-site cleft.
