AKAP signalling complexes: focal points in space and time
Multiprotein signalling networks create focal points of enzyme activity that disseminate the
intracellular action of many hormones and neurotransmitters. Accordingly, the spatio-
temporal activation of protein kinases and phosphatases is an important factor in controlling
where and when phosphorylation events occur. Anchoring proteins provide a molecular
framework that orients these enzymes towards selected substrates. A-kinase anchoring
proteins (AKAPs) are signal-organizing molecules that compartmentalize various enzymes …

Abstract
Multiprotein signalling networks create focal points of enzyme activity that disseminate the intracellular action of many hormones and neurotransmitters. Accordingly, the spatio-temporal activation of protein kinases and phosphatases is an important factor in controlling where and when phosphorylation events occur. Anchoring proteins provide a molecular framework that orients these enzymes towards selected substrates. A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) are signal-organizing molecules that compartmentalize various enzymes that are regulated by second messengers.
