Characterization of an A-Kinase Anchoring Protein in Human Ciliary Axonemes
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Although protein kinase A (PKA) activation is known to increase ciliary beat frequency in humans the molecular mechanisms involved are unknown. We demonstrate that PKA is associated with ciliary axonemes where it specifically phosphorylates a 23-kDa protein. Because PKA is often localized to subcellular compartments in proximity to its substrate(s) via interactions with A-kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs), we...
