This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Activation of protein kinase A (PKA) by cAMP is a multi-step process involving sequential binding of cAMP to two different sites in the R subunit, and a resultant sequence of structural changes in R that release the C subunit from an inhibited state. The nature of the structural changes that occur during activation are poorly understood, although recent SAXS data and x-ray crystal structures indicate large cAMP-induced structural changes in the R subunit occur before the C subunit is released. Using SSRL beamtime granted through the Rapid Access mechanism, we conducted pilot time-resolved SAXS experiments in July 2007 to determine the approximate time course of solution structural changes that occur after mixing PKA with cAMP and cAMP analogs. These studies were conducted in collaboration with Hiro Tsuruta's group using the stopped-flow instrument on BL 4-2. Analysis of these data indicate that it is feasible to use TR-SAXS to follow the cAMPinduced structural changes in PKA and that these changes are largely complete by ~750 msec. The overall changes in Rg and Dmax that occurred were comparable to what we had previously observed using the steadystate SAXS instrument at the University of Utah. Based on our successful pilot experiments, we would like to follow up with more detailed and extensive studies of the kinetics of PKA structural changes using the TRSAXS capabilities at BL 4-2. Specifically, we would like to analyze in more detail the structural changes with higher temporal resolution (our shortest time integral was 255 msec in the pilot studies), and extend our observations to include the dissociation of R and C subunits (we chose conditions in the pilot studies that prevented R-C dissociation so as to only observe cAMP-induced conformational changes). Such experiments will provide important insights into the structural dynamics of PKA.
