Live-cell imaging of the spatiotemporal kinetics of PKA activation during cell migration reveals that PKA regulates the protrusion and retraction cycle of the leading edge. Protrusion formation correlates with RhoA and PKA activation. PKA subsequently phosphorylates RhoA to increase its interaction with RhoGDI and terminate RhoA activity at the leading edge.
