Abstract: | Treatment of human promyelocytic (HL60) cells with retinoic acid for at least 48 h causes differentiation to more mature myeloid forms. Prior to commitment of cells to the myeloid pathway there is a marked increase in cytosolic calcium-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase activity. This increase does not result from an intracellular redistribution of the enzyme. Concomitant with the increased enzyme activity there is enhanced phospholipid-dependent phosphorylation of proteins of 29, 49, 52, 58, 68, 69, 120, 170, 200 and 245 kDa. |
