The actions of the kinase A anchoring protein, AKAP79, a key element in the regulation of the cardiac L-type Ca2+channel, were assessed on skeletal muscle Ca2+channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The channels were reconstituted by expressing the pore forming α1ssubunit and its accessory subunits, α2-δ, β, and γ. We report, for the first time, that peak Ca2+channel currents are greatly increased (3.5-fold) by AKAP79 when co-expressed with the truncated form of the α1ssubunit. Immunoblots revealed that the increase in current amplitude is not accompanied by a corresponding increase in the membrane levels of the α1ssubunit. This suggests that AKAP79 does not increase the trafficking of the channel. In addition, we show that the transcript of AKAP150, the rat ortholog of the human AKAP79, is expressed in rat skeletal muscle and propose that AKAP79/150 modulates Ca2+channel function.
