Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) is driven by J-PKAc alpha, a kinase fusion chimera of the J domain of DnaJB1 with PKAc alpha, the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). Here we report the crystal structures of the chimeric fusion RI alpha(2):J-PKAc alpha(2) holoenzyme formed by J-PKAc alpha and the PKA regulatory (R) subunit RI alpha, and the wild-type (WT) RI alpha(2):PKAc alpha(2) holoenzyme. The chimeric and WT RI alpha holoenzymes have quaternary structures different from the previously solved WT RI beta and RII beta holoenzymes. The WT RI alpha holoenzyme showed the same configuration as the chimeric RI alpha(2):J-PKAc alpha(2) holoenzyme and a distinct second conformation. The J domains are positioned away from the symmetrical interface between the two RI alpha:J-PKAc alpha heterodimers in the chimeric fusion holoenzyme and are highly dynamic. The structural and dynamic features of these holoenzymes enhance our understanding of the fusion chimera protein J-PKAc alpha that drives FLHCC as well as the isoform specificity of PKA.
