摘要
Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) is a newly discovered cAMP receptor that mediates the intracellular cAMP actions in addition to the classic cAMP-dependent protein kinase system, In this study, we show that Epac interacts directly with tubulin, co-purifies with cellular microtubules, and co-localizes with the mitotic spindle assembly. Association with microtubules suppresses Epac-mediated Rapl activation, while the binding of Epac promotes microtubule formation. These results demonstrate that Epac plays an important role in connecting the microtubule cytoskeleton network and intracellular cAMP-signalling.
