Protein Kinase A, which Regulates Intracellular Transport, Forms Complexes with Molecular Motors on Organelles

Abstract: Major signaling cascades have been shown to play a role in the regulation of intracellular organelle transport . Aggregation and dispersion of pigment granules in melanophores are regulated by the second messenger cAMP through the protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway ; however, the exact mechanisms of this regulation are poorly understood. To study the role of signaling molecules in the regulation of pigment transport in melanophores, we have asked the question whether the components of the cAMP-signaling … Show more

“…25 Most likely, cytoplasmic vesicle-bound PKA complexes with dynein and kinesin, as has been reported for the intracellular transport of pigment granules. 43 In our study, interfering with the actin skeleton had no effect on apoE secretion, suggesting a distinction between actin-mediated phagocytosis or migration 44,45 and macrophage-mediated protein secretion. …”

“…The opposite process occurs during aggregation, when cAMP levels are reduced and melanosomes are transferred from the actin to the microtubule network to be clustered in the cell center (36,38,39). Consistent with these observations, PKA was found to associate with melanosomes and even to form complexes with the respective motor proteins in melanophores (40,41). Whether any of these motor complexes are direct targets of PKA, however, remains to be elucidated.…”

“…This demonstrates that a simultaneous docking of Mtap2 to microtubules and TREK-1 is crucial for controlling the microtubule-based transport of the latter. Mtap2 interacts with the kinase PKA (Obar et al, 1989), whose activity is known to control motor protein activity (Kashina et al, 2004). Recruitment of PKA by Mtap2 to close proximity of vesicles containing TREKs, and modulation of adjacent motor proteins by PKA, may provide a molecular basis for the observed effect on TREK trafficking.…”
