title: Activation of protein kinase C delta by the c-Abl tyrosine kinase in response to ionizing radiation.
abstract: The c-Abl protein tyrosine kinase is activated by ionizing radiation (IR) and certain other DNA-damaging agents. The present studies demonstrate that c-Abl associates constitutively with protein kinase C delta (PKCdelta). The results show that the SH3 domain of c-Abl interacts directly with PKCdelta. c-Abl phosphorylates and activates PKCdelta in vitro. We also show that IR treatment of cells is associated with c-Abl-dependent phosphorylation of PKCdelta and translocation of PKCdelta to the nucleus. These findings support a functional interaction between c-Abl and PKCdelta in the cellular response to genotoxic stress.
