In Plasmodium falciparum the central receptor for cAMP is the single regulatory subunit (R) of Protein kinase A (PKA). To aid the development of compounds that can selectively dysregulate parasite PKA signalling we solved the structure of the PKA regulatory subunit in complex with cAMP and a related analog that displays antimalarial activity: Sp-2Cl-cAMPS. Prior to signalling, PKA-R holds the kinases catalytic subunit (C) in an inactive state by exerting an allosteric inhibitory affect. When two cAMP molecules bind to PKA-R they stabilise a structural conformation that facilitates its dissociation, freeing PKA-C to phosphorylate down-stream substrates such as Apical Membrane Antigen 1. We show that untimely induction of this response with membrane permeable Sp-2Cl-cAMPS blocks parasite proliferation via a PKA-R dependent mechanism.
