The involvement of PKC in NG108-15 cell differentiation was investigated. Differentiation with dBcAMP was associated with a decrease in total cellular phorbol ester binding. The histone-directed PKC activity was decreased in the soluble fraction. Northern and Western blotting revealed the presence of only PKC alpha but not PKC beta and PKC gamma among the calcium-dependent isoforms. Differentiation induced a decrease of cytosolic PKC alpha immunoreactivity, with no changes of mRNA content or appearance of PKC beta and PKC gamma isoforms. The low levels of PKC alpha in the soluble fraction suggest that the mRNA for this species is less efficiently translated in differentiated NG108-15 cells. The data suggest that down-regulation of PKC alpha protein and kinase activity are associated with induction of neuronal morphology in NG108-15 cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009474 Neurons The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
