Compartmentalization of kinases and phosphatases is a key determinant in the specificity of
second messenger mediated signaling events. Localization of the cAMP-dependent protein
kinase (PKA) and other signaling enzymes is mediated by interaction with A-kinase
anchoring proteins (AKAPs). In the past year there have been many advances in our
understanding of AKAPs, particularly in the field of the functional consequences of PKA
anchoring.
