Large-conductance calcium-dependent potassium channels are subject
to modulation by protein kinases, phosphatases, and other signaling
proteins, and it has been inferred from electrophysiological experiments that signaling proteins sometimes can be intimately associated with these channels in a regulatory complex. We show here
that endogenous protein kinase activity coimmunoprecipitates with both
native and recombinant Drosophila Slowpoke (dSlo)
calcium-dependent potassium channels. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments
using antibodies against several protein kinases demonstrate that dSlo
can bind simultaneously to the Src tyrosine kinase and to the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKAc). Both kinases can
phosphorylate the channel in Drosophila heads and in
heterologous host cells. The PKAc binds directly to a 172-amino acid
region in the C-terminal domain of dSlo, without the intervention of regulatory subunits or anchoring proteins, and channel phosphorylation by PKAc is not required for this binding interaction. In contrast, several phosphorylatable tyrosine residues in dSlo are important for
Src binding. The results are consistent with the idea that an ion
channel can act as a scaffold for its own specific set of modulatory enzymes.
