Identification of an IQGAP1/AKAP79 complex in beta-cells.

IQGAP1, is a recently discovered scaffold protein proposed to regulate membrane cytoskeleton events through protein-protein interactions with F-actin, E-cadherin, beta-catenin, and CLIP170. The binding of IQGAP1 to its partners is regulated by calcium/calmodulin (Ca(++)/CaM) and the small molecular weight guanine nucleotide triphosphatases (GTPases), Cdc42, and Rac1. Here we identify a novel IQGAP1 scaffolding function by isolating the cyclic AMP dependent kinase (PKA) with IQGAP1. IQGAP1 was co-purified with PKA using 5'-cyclic AMP (cAMP) affinity chromatography and PKA activity was co-immunoprecipitated with IQGAP1 using an anti-IQGAP1 antibody. The association of IQGAP1 with PKA was shown to occur through a direct interaction between A kinase anchoring protein 79 (AKAP79) and the carboxyl-terminal domain of IQGAP1. This suggests that cAMP/PKA may be coupled with Ca(++)/CaM and GTPases through an IQGAP1/AKAP79 complex.
