Figure 6. N-Linker mediates cross-talk between two heterodimers in PKA RIα holoenzyme.
A. Binding cAMP molecule to CNB-A in a heterodimer (indicated by the red arrow) disrupts the R:C interface in the C-linker around the P+1 loop, αG-helix region (indicated by the red circle). B. Binding of the second cAMP molecule to the symmetry related R′-subunit disrupts the R′:C and R′:R interface in the N-linker area.
