title: Irreversible inactivation of diacylglycerol kinase-II requires a mediator.
abstract: Cytosolic diacylglycerol kinase was irreversibly inactivated by 5'-AMP since the enzyme remained less active after the removal of 5'-AMP by P-10 gel chromatography. The inactivation was time-dependent, suggesting the involvement of a covalent bond modification. A reconstitution experiment detected a rat brain cytosolic mediator for the effect of 5'-AMP. A protein kinase rich fraction prepared from rat liver was also capable of restoring the sensitivity of diacylglycerol kinase-II to 5'-AMP. We propose that 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase is the mediator which inactivates diacylglycerol kinase-II, possibly by phosphorylation.
