The Immunomodulatory Functions of Diacylglycerol Kinase ζ [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 The generation of diacylglycerol (DAG) is critical for promoting immune cell activation, regulation, and function. Diacylglycerol kinase ζ (DGKζ) serves as an important negative regulator of DAG by enzymatically converting DAG into phosphatidic acid (PA) to shut down DAG-mediated signaling.

Diacylglycerol Kinase-ε: Properties and Biological Roles [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 In mammals there are at least 10 isoforms of diacylglycerol kinases (DGK). All catalyze the phosphorylation of diacylglycerol (DAG) to phosphatidic acid (PA). Among DGK isoforms, DGKε has several unique features. It is the only DGK isoform with specificity for a particular species of DAG, i.e., 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl glycerol.

Diacylglycerol kinase control of protein kinase C
Biochemical Journal, 2019 Abstract The diacylglycerol kinases (DGK) are lipid kinases that transform diacylglycerol (DAG) into phosphatidic acid (PA) in a reaction that terminates DAG-based signals. DGK provide negative regulation to conventional and novel protein kinase C (PKC) enzymes, limiting local DAG availability in a tissue- and subcellular-restricted ...

Prokaryotic Diacylglycerol Kinase and Undecaprenol Kinase [PDF]
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2012 Prokaryotic diacylglycerol kinase (DAGK) and undecaprenol kinase (UDPK) are the lone members of a family of multispan membrane enzymes that are very small, lack relationships to any other family of proteins—including water soluble kinases—and exhibit an unusual structure and active site architecture.

Epigenetic regulation of diacylglycerol kinase alpha promotes radiation-induced fibrosis
Nature Communications, 2016 Radiotherapy can induce fibrosis in cancer patients, limiting its use in clinical settings. Here, the authors identify a differentially methylated enhancer of the lipid kinase DGKA in fibroblasts from breast cancer patients developing fibrosis after ...

Regulation of Macropinocytosis by Diacylglycerol Kinase ζ
PLOS ONE, 2015 Macropinosomes arise from the closure of plasma membrane ruffles to bring about the non-selective uptake of nutrients and solutes into cells. The morphological changes underlying ruffle formation and macropinosome biogenesis are driven by actin cytoskeleton rearrangements under the control of the Rho GTPase Rac1.

Diacylglycerol Kinase Delta Promotes Lipogenesis [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2013 We have studied the relationship between diacylglycerol kinase delta (DGKδ) and lipogenesis. There is a marked increase in the expression of DGKδ during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells to adipocytes, as well as in the synthesis of neutral and polar lipids.

MicroRNA-34a enhances T cell activation by targeting diacylglycerol kinase ζ. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The engagement of the T cell receptor (TCR) induces the generation of diacylglycerol (DAG), an important second messenger activating both the Ras/Erk and PKCθ/NFκB pathways.

Diacylglycerol Kinase Signalling
, 2017 Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) phosphorylate diacylglycerol (DG), catalyzing its conversion into phosphatidic acid (PA). This reaction attenuates membrane DG levels, limiting the localization/activation of signaling proteins that bind this lipid. Initially recognized as modulators of classical and novel PKC family members, the function of the DGK has ...
