Calcium-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase in cultured rat mesangial cells. 1985

Y Orita, and Y Fujiwara, and S Ochi, and Y Tanaka, and T Kamada

The analysis of the 100 000 X g supernatant fraction of cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells with DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography revealed a large peak showing the activity of a protein kinase (protein kinase C) which depended on phospholipid and diolein as well as Ca2+. Furthermore, it was shown that angiotensin II (AII) (10(-6)M) induced rapid hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, leading to production of diacylglycerol rich in arachidonic acid, in the cultured rat mesangial cells. These results suggest that activation of protein kinase C resulting from enhancement of phosphoinositide metabolism may be important as an intracellular regulatory mechanism of AII upon cultured mesangial cells.

D010716 Phosphatidylinositols Derivatives of phosphatidic acids in which the phosphoric acid is bound in ester linkage to the hexahydroxy alcohol, myo-inositol. Complete hydrolysis yields 1 mole of glycerol, phosphoric acid, myo-inositol, and 2 moles of fatty acids.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
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.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004075 Diglycerides Glycerides composed of two fatty acids esterified to the trihydric alcohol GLYCEROL. There are two possible forms that exist: 1,2-diacylglycerols and 1,3-diacylglycerols. Diacylglycerol,Diacylglycerols
D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.
