A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) control the localization and substrate specificity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), tetramers of regulatory (PKA-R) and catalytic (PKA-C) subunits, by binding to PKA-R subunits1. Most mammalian AKAPs bind Type II PKA through PKA-RII (ref. 2), whereas dual specificity AKAPs bind both PKA-RI and PKA-RII (ref. 3). Inhibition of PKA–AKAP interactions modulates PKA signalling2. Localized PKA activation in pseudopodia of migrating cells4 phosphorylates 
4 integrins to provide spatial cues governing cell motility5. Here, we report that the 4 cytoplasmic domain is a Type I PKA-specific AKAP that is distinct from canonical AKAPs in two ways: the 4 interaction requires the PKA holoenzyme, and is insensitive to amphipathic peptides that disrupt most PKA–AKAP interactions. We exploited type-specific PKA anchoring peptides to create genetically encoded baits that sequester specific PKA isoforms to the mitochondria and found that mislocalization of Type I, but not Type II, PKA disrupts 4 phosphorylation and markedly inhibits the velocity and directional persistence of cell migration.
