Abstract
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) control the localization of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) by tethering PKA to distinct cellular compartments. Through additional direct proteinprotein interactions with PKA substrates and other signaling molecules they form multi-protein complexes. Thereby, AKAPs regulate the access of PKA to its substrates in a temporal and spatial manner as well as the local crosstalk of cAMP/PKA with other signaling pathways. Due to the increasing information on their molecular functioning and three-dimensional structures, and their emerging roles in the development of diseases, AKAPs move into the focus as potential drug targets. Targeting AKAP dependent protein-protein interactions for interference with local signal processing inside cells potentially allows for the development of therapeutics with high selectivity and fewer side effects.
Keywords: AKAP, protein-protein interaction, compartmentalized cAMP signaling, peptide, peptidomimetics, PKA, small molecules.

New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
