A Model and Analysis of the AKAP Scaffold
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the biochemical processes involved in scaffold-mediated crosstalk between the cAMP and the Raf-1/MEK/ERK pathways. We model the system by a continuous time Markov chain with levels and analyse properties using Continuous Stochastic Logic and the symbolic probabilistic model checker PRISM. We consider two kinds of properties of the model, causal events and pulsating behaviour, and, in order to formulate these properties, we enrich the model with trend formulas. The system is currently under wet-lab investigation and our approach was developed in collaboration with the experimentalists.

Trend-Based Analysis of a Population Model of the AKAP Scaffold Protein
We formalise a continuous-time Markov chain with multidimensional discrete state space model of the AKAP scaffold protein as a crosstalk mediator between two biochemical signalling pathways. The analysis by temporal properties of the AKAP model requires reasoning about whether the counts of individuals of the same type (species) are increasing or decreasing. For this purpose we propose the conc...
متن کاملAssociation of an A-kinase-anchoring protein signaling scaffold with cadherin adhesion molecules in neurons and epithelial cells.
A-kinase-anchoring protein (AKAP) 79/150 organizes a scaffold of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and protein phosphatase 2B/calcineurin that regulates phosphorylation pathways underlying neuronal long-term potentiation and long-term depression (LTD) synaptic plasticity. AKAP79/150 postsynaptic targeting requires three N-terminal basic domains that bind F-actin and a...

Background: Increasing number of patients facing end-organ failure, as well as the therapeutic challenges surrounding allotransplantation, has catalyzed the evolution of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The successful recapitulation of development requires choosing an ideal scaffold material as a mediator of biochemical and biophysical signals. The extracellular matrix (ECM) functi...
متن کاملAKAP (A-kinase anchoring protein) domains: beads of structure-function on the necklace of G-protein signalling.
AKAPs (A-kinase anchoring proteins) are members of a diverse family of scaffold proteins that minimally possess a characteristic binding domain for the RI/RII regulatory subunit of protein kinase A and play critical roles in establishing spatial constraints for multivalent signalling assemblies. Especially for G-protein-coupled receptors, the AKAPs provide an organizing centre about which vario...
متن کاملThe palmitoyl acyltransferase DHHC2 regulates recycling endosome exocytosis and synaptic potentiation through palmitoylation of AKAP79/150.
Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPARs) by kinases and phosphatases and interactions with scaffold proteins play essential roles in regulating channel biophysical properties and trafficking events that control synaptic strength during NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity, such as LTP and LTD. We previously demonstrated that palmitoylatio...
