Regulation of the heart by the sympathetic nervous system, fundamental to the physiological response to stress and exercise, requires coordinated phosphorylation of multiple downstream molecular targets, including the I-Ks (slowly activating potassium current) channel. Sympathetic nervous system stimulation increases intracellular cAMP for which targeted regulation is directed in large part by distinct scaffold or anchoring proteins. Yotiao is an A-kinase-anchoring protein (AKAP) that recruits the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A (PKA)) and protein phosphatase 1 to the carboxyl terminus of the I-Ks channel to form a molecular complex and control its phosphorylation state, crucial to the cardiac cellular response to sympathetic nervous system stimulation. Here we report that Yotiao itself is a substrate for PKA phosphorylation, and we identify a Yotiao amino-terminal (N-T) residue (Ser-43) that is PKA-phosphorylated in response to beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation. The replacement of Ser-43 by Ala ablates the PKA phosphorylation of N-T Yotiao and markedly diminishes the functional response of the wild type and pseudo-phosphorylated I-Ks channel to cAMP but neither prevents the PKA phosphorylation of KCNQ1 nor its binding to Yotiao. These results suggest, for the first time, a critical role for the PKA phosphorylation of an AKAP in the functional regulation of an ion channel protein and postphosphorylation allosteric modulation of the I-Ks channel by Yotiao.
