title: Involvement of protein kinase C in the phosphorylation of 46 kDa proteins which are phosphorylated in parallel with activation of NADPH oxidase in intact guinea-pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
abstract: Two proteins (Mr 46,000, pI 6.4 and 7.0), the phosphorylation of which was increased by any of the membrane-perturbing agents in parallel with activation of NADPH oxidase in intact guinea-pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes in our previous study (Okamura, N., Ohashi, S., Nagahisa, N. and Ishibashi, S. (1984) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 228, 270-277), were also phosphorylated in a cell-free system prepared from the leukocytes. The in vitro phosphorylation of these two proteins was stimulated by the addition of phosphatidylserine in the presence of higher concentrations of Ca2+ (300-500 microM). The phosphorylation was further increased when protein kinase C partially purified from guinea-pig brain was added to the system. At a low concentration of Ca2+ (about 10 microM), stimulation of the phosphorylation was not attained by phosphatidylserine alone but required the addition of diacylglycerol or phorbol myristate acetate. On the other hand, the increase in the phosphorylation was inhibited by H-7, an inhibitor for protein kinase C. These results indicate that protein kinase C is involved in the phosphorylation of the two proteins, which may be related to the superoxide anion production stimulated by various membrane-perturbing agents.
