In situ hybridization was used to localize CAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) mRNAs in the adult mouse CNS. The PKA holoenzyme contains two catalytic (C) subunits and a regulatory (R) subunit dimer. Our studies demonstrate expression of two isoforms of C (Ca and Cb) and four isoforms of R (Rla, RIP, Rlla, and Rllfi) in the CNS. mRNAs for Ca, Rla, and RIP preferentially localize in the neocortex, caudate-putamen, hypothalamus, thalamus, and hippocampus. Hybridization with Cg and Rllg probes is clearly distinguished from the Ca-like pattern by a reduced level of hybridization in the thalamus and by a relative increase in expression in the dentate gyrus compared with cell layers CAl-3 in the hippocampus. Rlla transcripts are very specifically localized in the medial habenula. The differential expression of PKA subunit genes suggests that functional differences in CAMP responses within neural tissues may be mediated by the biochemical properties of specific PKA isoforms.
