The selective enzyme inhibitors genistein and Ro 31-8220 were used to assess the importance of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and protein kinase C (PKC), respectively, in N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) induced generation of superoxide ...

Protein kinase C signaling and cell cycle regulation
A link between T cell proliferation and the protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases has been recognized for about thirty years. However, despite the wealth of information on PKC-mediated control of T cell activation, understanding of ...

Novel structural features of CDK inhibition revealed by an ab initio computational method combined with dynamic simulations [PDF]
The rational development of specific inhibitors for the ~500 protein kinases encoded in the human genome is impeded by a poor understanding of the structural basis for the activity and selectivity of small molecules that compete for ATP binding. Combining classical dynamic simulations with a novel ab initio computational approach linear-scalable to ...

Diacylglycerol kinase control of protein kinase C
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 ...

Giant Hub Src and Syk Tyrosine Kinase Thermodynamic Profiles Recapitulate Evolution [PDF]
Thermodynamic scaling theory, previously applied mainly to small proteins, here analyzes quantitative evolution of the titled functional network giant hub enzymes. The broad domain structure identified homologically is confirmed hydropathically using amino acid sequences only.

Protein kinase C and cancer: what we know and what we do not
Since their discovery in the late 1970s, protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes represent one of the most extensively studied signaling kinases. PKCs signal through multiple pathways and control the expression of genes relevant for cell cycle progression ...

Intramolecular C2 Domain-Mediated Autoinhibition of Protein Kinase C βII
The signaling output of protein kinase C (PKC) is exquisitely controlled, with its disruption resulting in pathophysiologies. Identifying the structural basis for autoinhibition is central to developing effective therapies for cancer, where PKC activity ...

Phosphorylation of protein kinase C by casein kinase‐1 [PDF]
Because phosphorylation of protein kinase C (PKC) may provide a mechanism for regulation of this enzyme, we have examined the ability of two other kinases to phosphorylate PKC. Our results show that casein kinase 1 (CK‐1), but not casein kinase 2 (CK‐2), can phosphorylate PKC in the absence of Ca2+ and phospholipids.
