We determined whether the beta or gamma protein kinase C (PKC) subtypes implicated in long-term potentiation (LTP) selectively regulates protein F1 phosphorylation. Purified bovine PKC subtypes and recombinant PKC subtypes activated by phosphatidylserine (PS) and calcium were tested for their relative ability to phosphorylate purified rat protein F1 (a.k.a. GAP-43). After equalizing enzyme activity against histone, the recombinant beta II PKC phosphorylated protein F1 to a 6 fold greater extent than the recombinant gamma PKC. Bovine beta I PKC phosphorylated protein F1 to a 3 fold greater extent than bovine gamma PKC. Even when PS was replaced by lipoxin B4, which can selectively increase gamma PKC activity, beta I PKC was still superior to gamma PKC in phosphorylating protein F1. Taken together with previous cellular studies of brain showing parallel levels of expression of beta PKC mRNA and protein F1 mRNA, the present results make it attractive to propose that beta PKC regulates protein F1 phosphorylation during the development of synaptic plasticity.

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.
