Certain lysophospholipids, lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC) in particular, stimulated protein kinase C at low concentrations (less than 20 microM) but, conversely, inhibited it at high concentrations (greater than 30 microM). Protein kinase C stimulation by lyso-PC required the presence of phosphatidylserine (PS) and Ca2+ and was associated with a decreased Ka for PS and increased Ka for Ca2+ of the enzyme. Cardiolipin and phosphatidic acid could partially substitute for PS in supporting the stimulatory effect of lyso-PC. Lyso-PC also biphasically regulated protein kinase C activated by diolein. Of several synthetic lyso-PC preparations tested, the oleoyl, myristoyl and palmitoyl derivatives were most active. Data from the Triton X-100 mixed micellar assay indicated that 1.4 and 14.0 mol of lyso-PC/micelle produced a maximal stimulation and a complete abolishment of the stimulation of protein kinase C, respectively. Protein kinase C stimulation by lyso-PC, with a pH optimum of about 7.5, was observed for phosphorylation of histone H1, myelin basic protein, and the 35- and 47-kDa proteins from the rat brain, but not for that of other histone subfractions and protamine. Lyso-PC acted synergistically with diacylglycerol in stimulating protein kinase C, whereas the stimulation by lyso-PC was additive to that by oleic acid. Protein kinase C inhibitors (alkyllysophospholipid, sphingosine, tamoxifen, and polymyxin B) inhibited more potently the protein kinase C activity stimulated by PS/Ca2+/lyso-PC than that stimulated by PS/Ca2+. The stimulatory and inhibitory effects of lyso-PC were not observed for myosin light chain kinase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase, indicating a specificity of its actions. The present findings suggested that lyso-PC, likely derived from membrane PC by the action of phospholipase A2, might play a role in signal transduction via a dual regulation of protein kinase C, and that it could further modulate the enzyme and hence the cellular activity by interplaying with diacylglycerol and unsaturated fatty acid, the two other classes of cellular mediators also shown to be activators of protein kinase C.

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.
