Summary: This gene encodes a member of the A-kinase anchor protein family. A-kinase anchor proteins are scaffold proteins that contain a binding domain for the RI/RII subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and recruit PKA and other signaling molecules to specific subcellular locations. This gene encodes a nuclear A-kinase anchor protein that binds to the RII alpha subunit of PKA and may play a role in chromosome condensation during mitosis by targeting PKA and the condensin complex to chromatin. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

Identification of A-Kinase Anchor Protein (AKAP8) as a splicing regulatory factor that impedes EMT and breast cancer metastasis. AKAP8 not only is capable of inhibiting splicing activity of the EMT-promoting splicing regulator hnRNPM through protein-protein interaction, it also directly binds to RNA and alters splicing outcomes. Genome-wide analysis shows that AKAP8 promotes an epithelial cell state splicing program.

The results of the present study demonstrate a crucial role for AKAP95 in CYP19A1 expression and oestrogen synthesis in humans luteinized granulosa cells, which implies that AKAP95 may be involved in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome.

The PKA-binding domain of AKAP8 and the C-terminal domain of DPY30, also called Dpy-30 motif, are crucial for the interaction between these proteins. AKAP8 interacts with DPY30 and the RII alpha regulatory subunit of PKA both in the interphase and in mitotic cells. A single amino acid substitution in DPY30 L69D affects its dimerization and completely abolishes its interaction with AKAP8.
Title: PKA-binding domain of AKAP8 is essential for direct interaction with DPY30 protein.
These results establish AKAP95 as a mostly positive regulator of pre-mRNA splicing and a possible integrator of transcription and splicing regulation.

Using a BioID proximity-based proteomic screen, we identify the nuclear pore complex protein TPR as a novel AKAP95 binding partner. We show interaction between AKAP95 and TPR in mitosis, and an AKAP95-dependent enrichment of TPR in the spindle microtubule area in metaphase, then later in the spindle midzone area.
Title: AKAP95 interacts with nucleoporin TPR in mitosis and is important for the spindle assembly checkpoint.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
