Using a model of the enzyme structure and the results from a series of free and myristylated peptides, we provide evidence that peptides corresponding to the pseudosubstrate sequence of protein kinase C bind to the enzyme substrate binding site in an essentially extended conformation. This and the nearly symmetrical location of positive charges around the substrate phosphoritable site allow the peptide to bind to the enzyme in either an N-to-C orientation or its C-to-N opposite orientation. The latter is favoured by a change in residue chirality or when the peptide bears a myristoyl chain at its N-terminus. A myristyl binding site was also identified in the enzyme structure and its location in a region proximal to the C-terminal residue of pseudosubstrate bound in the N-to-C direction suggested that C-myristylation of peptide substrates should be more effective than N-myristoylation in antagonizing the enzyme. A peptide (H-RFARKGALRQKN-CONH-Myr) which contains the myristyl chain covalently linked to the C-terminal residue of the pseudosubstrate was thus made and shown to be a potent inhibitor of the histone kinase reaction of protein kinase C and the phosphorylation of p47 in intact cells.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
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.
