Activation of protein kinase A (PKA) through the β-adrenergic receptor pathway is crucial for
the positive regulation of cardiac L-type currents; however it is still unclear which
phosphorylation events cause the robust regulation of channel function. In order to study
whether or not the recently identified PKA phosphorylation sites on the β 2 subunit are of
functional significance, we coexpressed wild-type (WT) or mutant β 2 subunits in tsA-201
cells together with an α 1C subunit, α 1C Δ1905, that lacked the C-terminal 265 amino acids …
