I think I am reading too much into the wording. When I read, PKA can only partially activate CREB327, I thought it meant that somehow PKA doesn't complete it's phosphorylation on the CREB327, like maybe one of the phosphate groups became nonfunctional somehow.
I didn't read it like, PKA phosphorylates CREB327 to activate it, but not to the extent that a normal activation would be by both PKA and GSK-3.
