We have purified a yeast protein kinase that is phospholipid-dependent and activated by Diacylglycerol (DAG) in the presence of Ca2+ or by the tumour-promoting agent tetradecanoyl-phorbol acetate (TPA). The properties of this enzyme are similar to those of the mammalian protein kinase C (PKC). The enzyme was purified using chromatography on DEAE-cellulose followed by hydroxylapatite. The latter chromatography separated the activity to three distinguishable sub-species, analogous to the mammalian PKC isoenzymes. The fractions enriched in PKC activity contain proteins that specifically bind TPA, are specifically phosphorylated in the presence of DAG and recognized by anti-mammalian PKC antibodies.

D007527 Isoenzymes Structurally related forms of an enzyme. Each isoenzyme has the same mechanism and classification, but differs in its chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics. Alloenzyme,Allozyme,Isoenzyme,Isozyme,Isozymes,Alloenzymes,Allozymes
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008322 Mammals Warm-blooded vertebrate animals belonging to the class Mammalia, including all that possess hair and suckle their young. Mammalia,Mammal
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
D002848 Chromatography, DEAE-Cellulose A type of ion exchange chromatography using diethylaminoethyl cellulose (DEAE-CELLULOSE) as a positively charged resin.
