title: Tyrosine phosphorylation of protein kinase C-delta in response to its activation.
abstract: Retroviral vectors containing five different protein kinase C (PKC) isoenzymes (alpha, delta, epsilon, eta, zeta) were expressed in 32D hematopoietic cells and NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. In an effort to investigate signaling events regulated by PKC activation, we analyzed whether tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins would occur after 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment of the various transfectants. While no detectable tyrosine-specific phosphorylation was observed after treatment of the majority of the transfectants, pronounced TPA-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of an 82-kDa protein was detected in the 32D/PKC-delta and NIH-3T3/PKC-delta lines. Interestingly, the 82-kDa substrate proved to be PKC-delta itself. Tyrosine phosphorylation of purified PKC-delta by src family or receptor tyrosine kinases in vitro enhanced PKC-delta activity, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation of PKC-delta may positively affect its function.
