Abstract:
Protein kinase A (PKA) is a basophilic kinase implicated in the modulation of many cell-signaling and physiological processes. PKA also contributes to cancer-relevant events such as growth factor action, cell cycle control, cell migration and tumor metabolism. Germline and somatic mutations in PKA, gene amplifications, and chromosome rearrangements that encode kinase fusions, are linked to a growing number of malignant neoplasms. Mislocalization of PKA by exclusion from A-Kinase Anchoring Protein (AKAP) signaling islands further underlies cancer progression. This article highlights the influence of AKAP signaling and local kinase action in selected hallmarks of cancer. We also feature the utility of kinase inhibitor drugs as frontline and future anti-cancer therapies.

Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
