The MAPK-activated protein kinases belong to the Ca2+/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinases. Within this group, MK2, MK3, and MK5 constitute three structurally related enzymes with distinct functions. Few genuine substrates for MK5 have been identified, and the only known biological role is in ras-induced senescence and in tumor suppression. Here we demonstrate that activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or ectopic expression of the catalytic subunit C alpha in PC12 cells results in transient nuclear export of MK5, which requires the kinase activity of both C alpha and MK5 and the ability of C alpha to enter the nucleus. C alpha and MK5, but not MK2, interact in vivo, and C alpha increases the kinase activity of MK5. Moreover, C alpha augments MK5 phosphorylation, but not MK2, whereas MK5 does not seem to phosphorylate C alpha. Activation of PKA can induce actin filament accumulation at the plasma membrane and formation of actin-based filopodia. We demonstrate that small interfering RNA-triggered depletion of MK5 interferes with PKA-induced F-actin rearrangement. Moreover, cytoplasmic expression of an activated MK5 variant is sufficient to mimic PKA-provoked F-actin remodeling. Our results describe a novel interaction between the PKA pathway and MAPK signaling cascades and suggest that MK5, but not MK2, is implicated in PKA-induced microfilament rearrangement.
