Kinetic evidence that 1,2-diolein inhibits phorbol ester binding to protein kinase C via a competitive mechanism. 1985

N A Sharkey, and P M Blumberg

Diacylglycerols inhibit binding of [20-3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate ([3H]PDBu) to protein kinase C (the phorbol ester receptor). This inhibition could reflect competitive binding by the diglyceride. Alternatively, it might simply represent perturbation of the lipid environment required for binding activity. As predicted for a competitive mechanism, we report here that inhibitory concentrations of the diglyceride 1,2-diolein do not affect the off-rate of [3H]PDBu from its receptor. This behavior contrasts with that of arachidonic acid, which appears to interact via a mixed mechanism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010703 Phorbol Esters Tumor-promoting compounds obtained from CROTON OIL (Croton tiglium). Some of these are used in cell biological experiments as activators of protein kinase C. Phorbol Diester,Phorbol Ester,Phorbol Diesters,Diester, Phorbol,Diesters, Phorbol,Ester, Phorbol,Esters, Phorbol
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.
