Selecting subkeys while using GnuPG

I have two encryption keys and three signing keys:

pub  4096R/057AC4BC  created: 2005-12-08  expires: never       usage: CS
sub  4096R/0DBBD3FD  created: 2005-12-08  expires: never       usage: SEA
sub  4096g/E3DD0205  created: 2005-12-29  expires: 2006-04-29  usage: E
sub  1024D/CC89E9DE  created: 2005-12-30  expires: 2006-04-30  usage: S

but while signing a message, GnuPG uses the DSA key as the default signing
key and the ELG-E key as the default encryption key. Is there a way to spe
cify which subkey GnuPG should use to sign/encrypt?

For example this message was signed using the 1024-bit DSA key using the
SHA1 digest algorithm.
