Following statements are regarding to protein kinase A which phosphorylates multiple intracellular target proteins expressed in different cell types.
A. Inactive PKA is a tetramer consisting of two regulatory (R) subunits and two catalytic (C) subunits.
B. Each R subunit contains a pseudo-substrate domain whose sequence resembles that of a peptide substrate and binds to the active site in the catalytic domain but is not phosphorylated; thus the pseudo-substrate domain inhibits the activity of the catalytic subunits.
C. active PKA is turned off by binding of cAMP Each R subunit has two distinct cAMP-binding sites, called CNB-A and CNB-B.
D. Binding of cAMP by an R subunit of PKA occurs in a cooperative fashion; that is, binding of the first cAMP molecule to CNB-B increases the Kd for binding of the second cAMP to CNB-A. Thus small changes in the level of cytosolic cAMP can cause proportionately large changes in the number of dissociated C subunits and, hence, in cellular kinase activity.
