title: Protein kinase C-alpha(1b)-adrenoceptor coimmunoprecipitation: effect of hormones and phorbol myristate acetate.
abstract: alpha(1b)-Adrenoceptors immunoprecipitated with protein kinase C alpha, delta, and epsilon isoforms under basal conditions and such coimmunoprecipitations were increased in cells treated with phorbol myristate acetate. The increased coimmunoprecipitations induced by phorbol myristate acetate were concentration-dependent and reached their maxima 1 to 2 min after the addition of the tumor promoter. No coimmunoprecipitation of protein kinase C zeta and alpha(1b)-adrenoceptors was detected. Norepinephrine, endothelin-1, lysophosphatidic acid and epidermal growth factor were also able to increase the coimmunoprecipitation of protein kinase C isoenzymes and alpha(1b)-adrenoceptors. These data support the idea that protein kinase-receptor complexes might form and could be relevant in receptor desensitization.
