Protein kinase C from small intestine epithelial cells. 1986

G Velasco, and C F Iglesias, and P Domínguez, and F Barros, and S Gascón, and P S Lazo

Protein kinase C activity has been identified in cytosolic and membrane fractions from rat and rabbit small intestine epithelial cells. The cytosolic fraction comprised about the 75% of total activity. Protein kinase C activity was resolved from other protein kinase activities by ion exchange chromatography. Phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylinositol were required for protein kinase C to be active. In addition, the activity was enhanced by the presence of a diacylglycerol. Diolein and dimyristin were the most effective (13-14 fold activation). In the presence of phosphatidylserine and diolein, the Ka for activation by Ca2+ was 10(-7)M. The phorbol ester TPA substituted for diacylglycerol in activating protein kinase C. Brush border and basolateral membranes contained protein kinase C activity, although the specific activity of the basal lateral membranes was four-fold higher than the specific activity of the brush border membranes. The presence of PKC in small intestine epithelial cells might have important implications in the Ca2+ mediated control of ionic transport in this tissue.

D007421 Intestine, Small The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM. Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
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.

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.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.
