Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

PRKAR2B is the type II-beta regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), serving as a key negative regulator of PKA catalytic activity by occupying the substrate-binding site of catalytic subunits until cAMP binding triggers their release (PMID:2165385). PRKAR2B is compartmentalized to specific subcellular signaling domains through A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) including D-AKAP2, mAKAP (at the sarcoplasmic reticulum/ryanodine receptor RyR2 complex), and yotiao (at KCNQ1 ion channels), enabling spatially restricted PKA signaling that controls cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and ion channel modulation (PMID:9326583, PMID:10830164, PMID:11799244). PRKAR2B expression is regulated transcriptionally by HIF-1α, XBP1, HHEX, and FOXG1, and post-transcriptionally by multiple miRNAs (miR-200b/c, miR-34c-3p, miR-127, miR-3147) and MAPKAPK2-mediated mRNA stabilization; in cancer contexts, PRKAR2B promotes aerobic glycolysis through a HIF-1α positive feedback loop and an HHEX–PKA–HK2 axis, and drives metastasis via Wnt/β-catenin-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (PMID:33025691, PMID:41704777, PMID:29761841, PMID:36817960). In oocytes, PRKAR2B is required for normal meiotic spindle assembly and progression through metaphase I (PMID:29518769).

  1. 1990 High

    Establishing the core mechanism by which PRKAR2B inhibits PKA: the autoinhibitory domain of RIIβ occupies the catalytic subunit's substrate-binding site, and cAMP binding releases this inhibition, providing the foundational biochemical framework for all subsequent studies of PRKAR2B function.
