Phosphorylation is a universal language used by cells to relay information between and within cells. One family of kinases that plays a key role in transducing information is the protein kinase C family. Members of this family interpret information from signals that result in phospholipid hydrolysis; they communicate to substrates throughout the cell ...

Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1)-independent activation of the protein kinase C substrate, protein kinase D [PDF]
Phosphoinoisitide dependent kinase l (PDK1) is proposed to phosphorylate a key threonine residue within the catalytic domain of the protein kinase C (PKC) superfamily that controls the stability and catalytic competence of these kinases.

A plant homologue to mammalian brain 14-3-3 protein and protein kinase C inhibitor [PDF]
We have isolated cDNA clones of Spinacea oleracea L. and Oenothera hookeri of 930 and 1017 base pairs, respectively. The open reading frame deduced from the Oenothera sequence codes for a protein of a calculated molecular mass of 29 200.

The mammalian protein kinase C (PKC) superfamily plays regulatory roles in many different cellular processes. However, due to the many members that exist in cells, it is very complicated to present experimental evidence of the particular function of each member.

c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase in Inflammation and Rheumatic Diseases. [PDF]
The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family and are activated by environmental stress. JNK is also activated by proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1, and Toll-like receptor ligands ...

Photoswitchable diacylglycerols enable optical control of protein kinase C. [PDF]
Increased levels of the second messenger lipid diacylglycerol (DAG) induce downstream signaling events including the translocation of C1-domain-containing proteins toward the plasma membrane. Here, we introduce three light-sensitive DAGs, termed PhoDAGs,

Annexins and protein kinases C
Annexins and protein kinases C belong to two distinct families of ubiquitous cytoplasmic proteins involved in signal transduction. All annexins share the property of binding calcium and phospholipids in the presence of calcium. Protein kinases C belong to three distinct groups of kinases: cPKCs (conventional PKCs) depend on calcium, diacylglycerol and ...

Impact of PNKP mutations associated with microcephaly, seizures and developmental delay on enzyme activity and DNA strand break repair [PDF]
Microcephaly with early-onset, intractable seizures and developmental delay (MCSZ) is a hereditary disease caused by mutations in polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase (PNKP), a DNA strand break repair protein with DNA 5'-kinase and DNA 3'-phosphatase ...

Protein Kinase C α Associates with Phospholipase D1 and Enhances Basal Phospholipase D Activity in a Protein Phosphorylation-Independent Manner in Human Melanoma Cells [PDF]
It is well known that phospholipase D plays a crucial part in the signal transduction of many types of cells, and is activated by protein kinase C α when cells are stimulated.

Age-dependent motor dysfunction due to neuron-specific disruption of stress-activated protein kinase MKK7. [PDF]
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family and controls various physiological processes including apoptosis. A specific upstream activator of JNKs is the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7).
