A fourth type of rabbit protein kinase C 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Three rabbit cDNA clones coding for three types of protein kinase C (PKC alpha, beta, and gamma) have recently been identified and the structures determined [Ohno, S., Kawasaki, H., Imajoh, S., Suzuki, K., Inagaki, M., Yokokura, H., Sakoh, T., & Hidaka, H. (1987) Nature (London) 325, 161-166]. By use of these cloned cDNAs as hybridization probes, a fourth type (delta) of cDNA clone, which encodes a protein highly homologous to PKC alpha, beta, and gamma, was identified. PKC delta is composed of 697 amino acid residues and contains several peptide sequences determined at the protein level with the brain PKC preparation. This indicates that this molecular type (PKC delta) is, along with PKC alpha, beta, and gamma, a constituent of the brain PKC preparation. Sequence comparison among the four PKC types revealed that PKC delta is somewhat distinct from the other PKC types. PKC delta shows 99% amino acid sequence identity with rat PKC type I [Knopf, J. L., Lee, M.-H., Sultzman, L. A., Kriz, R. W., Loomis, C. R., Hewick, R. M., & Bell, R. M. (1986) Cell (Cambridge, Mass.) 46, 491-502], indicating relationship of these PKC types. The mRNA for PKC delta is exclusively concentrated in the brain. 相似文献

Protein kinase C beta (PKC beta): normal functions and diseases 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
PKC beta I and PKC beta II are DAG- and Ca(2+)-dependent conventional or classical isoforms of protein kinase C. Generated by alternative splicing from a single gene, they differ at their C-terminal 50 (beta I) or 52 (beta II) residues. They are expressed as major PKC isoforms in a variety of tissues, and thus the functions ascribed to "PKC" based on early studies using phorbol esters and PKC inhibitors could be attributed to them. As tools to probe into isoform-specific functions have recently become available, our understanding of the normal functions of these isoforms has dramatically increased. This minireview will focus mainly on two areas of signal transduction where the roles of PKC beta I and PKC beta II are relatively well-characterized: immunoreceptor and insulin receptor systems. Their involvement in disorders due to pertubations in these signaling systems, i.e., immunodeficiencies and diabetes, is also reviewed. Finally, patterns of PKC action in these and other biologic systems are discussed. 相似文献

A novel phorbol ester receptor/protein kinase, nPKC, distantly related to the protein kinase C family 总被引:48,自引:0,他引:48
Protein kinase C (PKC)-related cDNA clones encode an 84 kd protein, nPKC. nPKC contains a cysteine-rich repeat sequence homologous to that seen in conventional PKCs (alpha, beta I, beta II, and gamma), which make up a family of 77-78 kd proteins with closely related sequences. nPKC, when expressed in COS cells, confers increased high-affinity phorbol ester receptor activity to intact cells. Antibodies raised against nPKC identified a 90 kd protein in rabbit brain extract as well as in extracts from COS cells transfected with the cDNA construct. nPKC shows protein kinase activity that is regulated by phospholipid, diacylglycerol, and phorbol ester but is independent of Ca2+. The structural and enzymological characteristics of nPKC clearly distinguish it from conventional PKCs, which until now have been the only substances believed to mediate the various effects of diacylglycerol and phorbol esters. These results suggest an additional signaling pathway involving nPKC. 相似文献

Evidence suggests that protein kinase C (PKC) and intracellular calcium are important for amphetamine-stimulated outward transport of dopamine in rat striatum. In this study, we examined the effect of select PKC isoforms on amphetamine-stimulated dopamine efflux, focusing on Ca(2+)-dependent forms of PKC. Efflux of endogenous dopamine was measured in superfused rat striatal slices; dopamine was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The non-selective classical PKC inhibitor G?6976 inhibited amphetamine-stimulated dopamine efflux, whereas rottlerin, a specific inhibitor of PKC delta, had no effect. A highly specific PKC beta inhibitor, LY379196, blocked dopamine efflux that was stimulated by either amphetamine or the PKC activator, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. None of the PKC inhibitors significantly altered [3H]dopamine uptake. PKC beta(I) and PKC beta(II), but not PKC alpha or PKC gamma, were co-immunoprecipitated from rat striatal membranes with the dopamine transporter (DAT). Conversely, antisera to PKC beta(I) and PKC beta(II) but not PKC alpha or PKCg amma were able to co-immunoprecipitate DAT. Amphetamine-stimulated dopamine efflux was significantly enhanced in hDAT-HEK 293 cells transfected with PKC beta(II) as compared with hDAT-HEK 293 cells alone, or hDAT-HEK 293 cells transfected with PKCa lpha or PKC beta(I). These results suggest that classical PKC beta(II) is physically associated with DAT and is important in maintaining the amphetamine-stimulated outward transport of dopamine in rat striatum. 相似文献

Neuron-specific protein F1/GAP-43 shows substrate specificity for the beta subtype of protein kinase C 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We determined whether the beta or gamma protein kinase C (PKC) subtypes implicated in long-term potentiation (LTP) selectively regulates protein F1 phosphorylation. Purified bovine PKC subtypes and recombinant PKC subtypes activated by phosphatidylserine (PS) and calcium were tested for their relative ability to phosphorylate purified rat protein F1 (a.k.a. GAP-43). After equalizing enzyme activity against histone, the recombinant beta II PKC phosphorylated protein F1 to a 6 fold greater extent than the recombinant gamma PKC. Bovine beta I PKC phosphorylated protein F1 to a 3 fold greater extent than bovine gamma PKC. Even when PS was replaced by lipoxin B4, which can selectively increase gamma PKC activity, beta I PKC was still superior to gamma PKC in phosphorylating protein F1. Taken together with previous cellular studies of brain showing parallel levels of expression of beta PKC mRNA and protein F1 mRNA, the present results make it attractive to propose that beta PKC regulates protein F1 phosphorylation during the development of synaptic plasticity. 相似文献

There is increasing evidence that moderate consumption of red wine containing high amount of polyphenols and anthocyanins is associated with decreased incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we hypothesized that cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis as well as Akt (protein kinase B, PKB) and protein kinase C (PKC) cascades can be beneficially influenced by an alcohol-free red wine (AFRW) extract rich in 14 types of polyphenols and 4 types of anthocyanins during cardiac remodeling. To test this assumption, rats were treated with isoproterenol (ISO) to induce postinfarction remodeling and were given tap water or AFRW ad libitum for 8 weeks. Control rats received vehicle instead of ISO. Heart mass/body mass and ventricle mass/body mass ratios, diameter of cardiomyocytes, phosphorylation of PKC alpha/beta II and protein kinase B/Akt, and deposition of collagen type III were determined from the hearts of all four groups of rats. All measured gravimetric parameters, myocyte diameters and the amount of collagen type III decreased, and the phosphorylation of PKC alpha/beta II was reduced in the ISO+AFRW group compared to the ISO group. AFRW induced activation of Akt, one of the best characterized cytoprotective pathways even without ISO treatment, and this activation was further increased in the ISO+AFRW group. These data suggest that AFRW treatment has a protective effect on hearts undergoing postinfarction remodeling by repressing hypertrophy-associated increased phosphorylation of PKC alpha/beta II and by activating Akt, providing a molecular mechanism for the cardioprotective effect of red wine polyphenols. 相似文献

Expression of multiple subspecies of protein kinase C (PKC) was studied in various rat tissues. Three types of the enzyme designated type I, II, and III were analyzed, which have the structures of gamma-, beta- (beta I- and beta II-), and alpha-sequence, respectively. Type I enzyme was found only in the central nervous tissue, whereas type III enzyme appeared to be commonly present in various tissues such as liver, spleen, lung, testis, heart, and kidney. Type II enzyme was also found in these tissues. However, immunoblot and biochemical analysis indicated that type II enzyme of lung and heart was distinct from that of other tissues. The tissue-specific expression of PKC suggests that each subspecies of this enzyme has a defined function in processing and modulating tissue responses to external stimuli. 相似文献

Genomic DNA encoding rabbit T cell receptor beta-chains: isotypes and allotypes of C beta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have discovered sequence differences in DNA encoding the first exon of rabbit T cell receptor beta-chains from unrelated rabbits that probably reflect allelic C beta 1 allotypes. Rabbit I was from a colony bred to maintain the K1-expression mutation Basilea, and rabbit II was from a colony bred to maintain the K1b9 allotype. Genomic DNA from rabbits I and II also exhibit restriction fragment length polymorphism of C beta on Southern blots. In addition, several different restriction enzyme digests of DNA from rabbit I give three bands, whereas DNA from rabbit II gives two when probed with C beta. An approximately 14-kb cloned genomic DNA fragment from rabbit I has two copies of C beta exon 1 and a 6-kb fragment has a third copy, suggesting that rabbit I has three different C beta genes. The DNA sequence of a germ-line genomic DNA fragment encoding the first exon of the beta-chain constant region from rabbit I also has an open reading frame encoding 140 amino acids immediately 5' of the C beta sequence. A corresponding sequence had previously been found in a cDNA clone from the second rabbit (rabbit II). 相似文献

In this study, we evaluated the influence of protein kinase C zeta (PKC zeta) on topoisomerase II inhibitor-induced cytotoxicity in monocytic U937 cells. In U937-zeta J and U937-zeta B cells, enforced PKC zeta expression, conferred by stable transfection of PKC zeta cDNA, resulted in total inhibition of VP-16- and mitoxantrone-induced apoptosis and decreased drug-induced cytotoxicity, compared with U937-neo control cells. In PKC zeta-overexpressing cells, drug resistance correlated with decreased VP-16-induced DNA strand breaks and DNA protein cross-links measured by alkaline elution. Kinetoplast decatenation assay revealed that PKC zeta overexpression resulted in reduced global topoisomerase II activity. Moreover, in PKC zeta-overexpressing cells, we found that PKC zeta interacted with both alpha and beta isoforms of topoisomerase II, and these two enzymes were constitutively phosphorylated. However, when human recombinant PKC zeta (rH-PKC zeta) was incubated with purified topoisomerase II isoforms, rH-PKC zeta interacted with topoisomerase II beta but not with topoisomerase II alpha. PKC zeta/topoisomerase II beta interaction resulted in phosphorylation of this enzyme and in decrease of its catalytic activity. Finally, this report shows for the first time that topoisomerase II beta is a substrate for PKC zeta, and that PKC zeta may significantly influence topoisomerase II inhibitor-induced cytotoxicity by altering topoisomerase II beta activity through its kinase function. 相似文献

By the use of cloned cDNAs for protein kinase C isozymes alpha, beta I, beta II, gamma, and those for novel protein kinase C, epsilon and zeta, the expression of the corresponding mRNA species was examined in various mouse tissues, human lymphoid cell lines, and mouse cell lines of neuronal origin. In adult brain, mRNAs for all the isozymes of PKC family are expressed. However, the expression of these mRNA species in brain is low at birth. A similar pattern of expression was also observed for beta I/beta II mRNAs in spleen. These expression patterns are in clear contrast to that for beta I/beta II mRNAs in thymus where the mRNAs are expressed at birth and the levels of expression decrease with age. Human lymphoid cell lines express large amounts of PKC beta mRNAs in addition to PKC alpha. Further, nPKC epsilon mRNA is expressed in some of these cell lines. On the other hand, all the mouse cell lines of neuronal origin tested express nPKC epsilon and zeta in addition to PKC alpha. In a mouse neuroblast cell line, Neuro 2a, down modulation of mRNAs for both PKC alpha and nPKC epsilon was observed in association with in vitro differentiation. 相似文献

A phorbol ester receptor/protein kinase, nPKC eta, a new member of the protein kinase C family predominantly expressed in lung and skin 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

Protein kinase C (PKC)-related cDNA clones isolated from mouse epidermis cDNA library encoded a 78-kDa protein, nPKC eta. nPKC eta contains a characteristic cysteine-rich repeat sequence (C1 region) and a protein kinase domain sequence (C3 region), both of which are conserved among PKC family members. However, nPKC eta lacks a putative Ca2+ binding region (C2 region) that is seen in conventional PKCs (alpha, beta I, beta II, gamma), but not in novel PKCs (nPKC delta, -epsilon, -zeta). nPKC eta shows the highest sequence similarity to nPKC epsilon (59.4% identity). The similarity extends to the NH2-terminal sequence (E region) which corresponds to one of the divergent regions (D1 region). Northern blot analysis showed that the mRNA for nPKC eta is highly expressed in the lung and skin but, in contrast to other members of the PKC family, only slightly expressed in the brain. nPKC eta expressed in COS cells shows phorbol ester binding activity with a similar affinity to nPKC epsilon. Antiserum raised against a COOH-terminal peptide of nPKC eta identified an 82-kDa protein in mouse lung extract as well as in an extract from COS cells transfected with the nPKC eta-cDNA expression plasmid. Autophosphorylation of nPKC eta immunoprecipitated with the specific antiserum was observed, indicating that nPKC eta is a protein kinase. These results clearly demonstrate the existence and the possible importance of nPKC eta as a member of the phorbol ester receptor/protein kinase, PKC, family. 相似文献

Protein kinase C epsilon was chromatographically purified from rabbit brain to electrophoretic homogeneity. We identified the enzyme as the epsilon species of novel-type protein kinase C (nPKC epsilon), originally discovered and defined by cDNA cloning [Ohno, S., et al. (1988) Cell 53, 731-741], on the basis of the following observations: (i) the enzyme reacts specifically with an antipeptidic antiserum to nPKC epsilon but not with antisera to any of the other molecular species of PKC thus far known; (ii) it exhibits enzymatic behavior essentially identical to that of a recombinant nPKC epsilon purified from transfected COS cells [Konno, Y., et al. (1989) J. Biochem. 106, 673-678] and distinct from that of conventional PKC (alpha, beta I/II, and gamma) in its dependence on magnesium concentration and cofactors such as phospholipids, calcium, and phorbol ester; and (iii) it has an apparent molecular weight of 95.7K +/- 0.4K on SDS-PAGE, significantly greater than the other conventional and novel PKCs thus far identified. Notably, calcium exhibits a complex effect, both positive and negative, on the kinase activity of epsilon depending on the kind of substrate and the coexisting phospholipid, calling for a modification of the current notion that epsilon is a kinase unresponsive to calcium. The amount of epsilon species in the brain was estimated to be comparable to that of each conventional species, indicating that epsilon stands as one of the major PKC family members in brain. Furthermore, the enzyme shows a broader substrate spectrum than conventional PKC when examined with endogenous substrates, implying that it may cover a wider or different range of physiological functions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Rat brain type II (beta) protein kinase C (PKC) was phosphorylated by rat lung casein kinase II (CK-II). Neither type I (gamma) nor type III (alpha) PKC was significantly phosphorylated by CK-II. CK-II incorporated 0.2-0.3 mol of phosphate into 1 mol of type II PKC. This phosphate was located at the single seryl residue (Ser-11) in the V1-variable region of the regulatory domain of the PKC molecule. A glutamic acid cluster was located at the carboxyl-terminal side of Ser-11, showing the consensus sequence for phosphorylation by CK-II. The velocity of this phosphorylation was enhanced by the addition of Ca2+, diolein, and phosphatidylserine, which are all required for the activation of PKC. Phosphorylation of casein or synthetic oligopeptides by CK-II was not affected by Ca2+, diolein, or phosphatidylserine. Available evidence suggests that CK-II phosphorylates preferentially the activated form of type II PKC. It remains unknown, however, whether this reaction has a physiological significance. 相似文献

Screening of a human B-cell cDNA library with a topoisomerase II beta gene-specific probe revealed the presence of two distinct forms of topoisomerase II beta cDNA. One form (designated topoisomerase II beta-1), representing the majority of the clones, would encode the topoisomerase II beta amino acid sequence reported recently [Jenkins, J.R. et al. (1992) Nucleic Acids Res., 20, 5587-5592]. The second form (designated topoisomerase II beta-2) would encode a protein containing an additional 5 amino acids inserted after Valine-23 of the topoisomerase II beta-1 protein sequence. The topoisomerase II beta-1 and beta-2 mRNAs were both widely expressed in human cell lines and tissues. Topoisomerase II beta-2 mRNA was expressed at a lower level than that of the beta-1 form, but the relative expression of the two forms varied in different cell types. Analysis of genomic DNA clones revealed that the two forms of topoisomerase II beta mRNA arose via differential splicing. These data indicate that in addition to the closely related topoisomerase II alpha and beta isozymes, there are two forms of topoisomerase II beta mRNA widely expressed in human cells. 相似文献

Five rabbit cDNAs, encoding four conventional protein kinase Cs (PKCs), alpha, beta I, beta II, and gamma, and a novel PKC-related protein (nPKC epsilon) were transfected into COS cells. Antisera raised against a bacterially synthesized fragment of PKC alpha or nPKC epsilon and against a chemically synthesized peptide of PKC beta I or beta II, specifically identified the corresponding species in the transfected cells. All four PKCs and nPKC epsilon expressed by transfection served as phorbol ester receptors. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu)-binding activities of all PKCs and nPKC epsilon required phospholipid but not magnesium. The phosphatidylserine requirement for the activity of nPKC epsilon is independent of Ca2+ and similar to that for PKC alpha observed at 0.03 mM Ca2+. Calcium dependence of the binding activity was observed only for the four conventional PKCs. Scatchard plot analysis clearly showed that the dissociation constants of PDBu for all four PKCs were nearly the same (approximately 25 nM) in the presence of Ca2+, and that the value for nPKC epsilon was slightly higher (84 nM) and independent of Ca2+. The latter value is comparable to those observed in several cell types under conditions of Ca2+ chelation. Translocation of conventional PKC alpha to the membranes was induced with phorbol ester in a Ca2+-dependent manner, whereas the PDBu-stimulated translocation of nPKC epsilon did not require Ca2+. These results, together with previous studies on the enzymological characteristics of nPKC epsilon (Ohno, S., Akita, Y., Konno, Y., Imajoh, S., and Suzuki, K. (1988) Cell 53, 731-741), suggest that nPKC epsilon plays an important role in a transmembrane signaling pathway distinct from that involving conventional PKCs. 相似文献

The effect of HIV-1 Tat protein on the production of IL-10, an immunosuppressive cytokine, was examined in human primary monocytes obtained from healthy HIV-1-negative blood donors. As expected and in agreement with our previous data, a dose-dependent induction of IL-10 was observed. In addition, we showed that this induction is mediated by the PKC pathway: in the presence of Ro 31-8220, an inhibitor of all PKC isozymes, or after 48 h of PMA treatment, Tat protein becomes unable to stimulate IL-10 production. Among the 11 PKC isozymes, eight (PKC alpha, beta(I), beta(II), delta, epsilon, eta, zeta, mu) are expressed in monocytes. In this study, by analyzing the translocation to the membrane after Tat stimulation, we showed that PKC alpha, beta(I), beta(II), delta and epsilon isozymes are activated by Tat. Moreover, by combining different approaches including selective PKC inhibitors (G?6983, G?6976, hispidin and rottlerin), we showed that PKC beta(II) and delta isozymes are essential for the activation of IL-10 production in human monocytes following stimulation by HIV-1 Tat protein. 相似文献

Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) isozyme family are important signal transducers in virtually every mammalian cell type. Within the heart, PKC isozymes are thought to participate in a signaling network that programs developmental and pathological cardiomyocyte hypertrophic growth. To investigate the function of PKC signaling in regulating cardiomyocyte growth, adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of wild-type and dominant negative mutants of PKC alpha, beta II, delta, and epsilon (only wild-type zeta) was performed in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Overexpression of wild-type PKC alpha, beta II, delta, and epsilon revealed distinct subcellular localizations upon activation suggesting unique functions of each isozyme in cardiomyocytes. Indeed, overexpression of wild-type PKC alpha, but not betaI I, delta, epsilon, or zeta induced hypertrophic growth of cardiomyocytes characterized by increased cell surface area, increased [(3)H]-leucine incorporation, and increased expression of the hypertrophic marker gene atrial natriuretic factor. In contrast, expression of dominant negative PKC alpha, beta II, delta, and epsilon revealed a necessary role for PKC alpha as a mediator of agonist-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, whereas dominant negative PKC epsilon reduced cellular viability. A mechanism whereby PKC alpha might regulate hypertrophy was suggested by the observations that wild-type PKC alpha induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2), that dominant negative PKC alpha inhibited PMA-induced ERK1/2 activation, and that dominant negative MEK1 (up-stream of ERK1/2) inhibited wild-type PKC alpha-induced hypertrophic growth. These results implicate PKC alpha as a necessary mediator of cardiomyocyte hypertrophic growth, in part, through a ERK1/2-dependent signaling pathway. 相似文献
