title: Carbachol stimulates TYR phosphorylation and association of PKCdelta and PYK2 in pancreas.
abstract: Carbachol treatment resulted in increased phosphorylation on tyrosine of PKCdelta immunoprecipitated from rat pancreatic acinar cells. The Ca2+-dependent tyrosine kinase PYK2 coimmunoprecipitated with PKCdelta from carbachol-exposed cells and also exhibited increased tyrosine phosphorylation. Tyrosine phosphorylation of both PKCdelta and PYK2 was concentration-dependent with respect to carbachol, and rapid, reaching maximal levels by 5 min of treatment. Exposure of acinar cells to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), a phorbol ester activator of PKCdelta, also resulted in increased phosphorylation of PKCdelta and PYK2 isolated using anti-PKCdelta immunoprecipitation. These results are suggestive of a physical and functional interaction between PKCdelta and PYK2 following muscarinic stimulation in the pancreatic acinar cell.
