Protein kinase A (PKA) plays critical roles in neuronal function that are mediated by different regulatory (R) subunits. Deficiency in either the RI beta or the RII beta subunit results in distinct neuronal phenotypes. Although RI beta contributes to synaptic plasticity, it is the least studied isoform. Using isoform-specific antibodies, we generated high-resolution large-scale immunohistochemical mosaic images of mouse brain that provided global views of several brain regions, including the hippocampus and cerebellum. The isoforms concentrate in discrete brain regions, and we were able to zoom-in to show distinct patterns of subcellular localization. RI beta is enriched in dendrites and co-localizes with MAP2, whereas RII beta is concentrated in axons. Using correlated light and electron microscopy, we confirmed the mitochondrial and nuclear localization of RI beta in cultured neurons. To show the functional significance of nuclear localization, we demonstrated that downregulation of RI beta, but not of RII beta, decreased CREB phosphorylation. Our study reveals how PKA isoform specificity is defined by precise localization.
