ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) is a key mediator of cholesterol and phospholipid efflux to
apolipoprotein particles. We show that ABCA1 is a constitutively phosphorylated protein in
both RAW macrophages and in a human embryonic kidney cell line expressing ABCA1.
Furthermore, we demonstrate that phosphorylation of ABCA1 is mediated by protein kinase
A (PKA) or a PKA-like kinasein vivo. Through site-directed mutagenesis studies of
consensus PKA phosphorylation sites and in vitro PKA kinase assays, we show that Ser …
