Abstract
Effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on the fate of protein kinase C in two mouse thymoma cell lines, which are either responsive (EL4) or unresponsive (IEL4) to PMA-induced interleukin-2 (IL-2) production, were investigated with polyclonal antibodies raised against rat brain enzyme. These antibodies immunoprecipitated completely the protein kinase C from both cell lines and detected mainly an 82-kDa protein by immunoblot analysis of the crude homogenates as well as the partially purified kinase preparations. PMA elicited a time- and dose-dependent redistribution of protein kinase C from cytosol to the particulate fraction and proteolytic degradation of the kinase from both cell lines. The dose of PMA required for half-maximum protein kinase C translocation and degradation was at least five times lower for EL4 than for IEL4. In the presence of 16 nM PMA the rates of protein kinase C translocation and degradation were faster in EL4 than in IEL4, and the half-lives of protein kinase C in EL4 and IEL4 were less than 5 min and greater than 2 h, respectively. Analysis of the tryptic fragments of the immunoprecipitated enzyme, previously phosphorylated in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP, revealed minor structural differences between the protein kinase C from these two cell lines. In neither cell line did the PMA-induced degradation of protein kinase C result in an accumulation of the Ca2+/phospholipid-independent kinase (catalytic unit) as analyzed by immunoblotting and gel filtration chromatography. Thus, activation of protein kinase C through the proteolytic conversion to the effector-independent catalytic unit plays little role in IL-2 production. The role of protein kinase C translocation and degradation in the PMA-induced responses in EL4 cells is unknown. However, IL-2 production in EL4 cells was reduced when PMA-induced degradation of protein kinase C was retarded by exogenously added protease inhibitors.

Abstract
Recently, we isolated 3 protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes from rat brain (Huang et al., 1986a). Using isozyme-specific antibodies for immunoblot, we have determined the relative levels of each isozyme in various regions of the rat brain (Huang et al., 1987b). The present paper describes the cellular distributions of PKC isozymes in rat brain as determined by light microscopic immunocytochemistry. Staining with PKC antibodies revealed strong immunoreactivities in neuronal somata and their dendrites and weak to no reaction in axon and the astroglial structures. In the cerebellum, the type I PKC antibodies stained the Purkinje cell bodies and dendrites; the type II PKC antibodies stained the granule cells; and the type III PKC antibody stained both Purkinje and granule cells. In the cerebral cortex, all antibodies stained neurons resembling pyramidal cells and their apical dendrites in layers II to VI, while layer I was nearly devoid of staining. However, the various isozyme-specific antibodies revealed distinct laminar distribution patterns of the positively stained neurons, and the type III PKC-positive neurons exhibited a higher density than those of type I or II PKC-positive ones, especially in layer II of cingulate (retrosplenial) and piriform cortices. In the hippocampal formation, both pyramidal cells of the hippocampus and granule cells of the dentate gyrus were stained by all PKC antibodies. Subcellularly, type III PKC appeared mostly in the cytoplasm of these neurons, whereas type I and II PKC seemed to associate with the nucleus as well. In the olfactory bulb, both type II and III PKC antibodies stained the periglomerular and granular cells, and the latter also stained the mitral cells. The distinct cellular and subcellular distribution of PKC isozymes suggests that each isozyme plays a unique role in the various neural functions.

Abstract
Biochemical characteristics of three rat brain protein kinase C isozymes, types I, II, and III, were compared with respect to their protein kinase and phorbol ester-binding activities. All three isozymes appeared to be alike in their phorbol ester-binding activities as evidenced by their similar Kd for phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate and requirements for Ca2+ and phospholipids. However, differences with respect to the effector-mediated stimulation of protein kinase activity were detectable among these isozymes. The type I enzyme could be stimulated by cardiolipin to a greater extent than those of the type II and III enzymes. In the presence of cardiolipin, the concentrations of dioleoylglycerol or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate required for half-maximal activation (A1/2) of the type I enzyme were nearly an order of magnitude lower than those for the type II and III enzymes. In the presence of phosphatidylserine, differences in the A1/2 of dioleoylglycerol and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate for the three isozymes of protein kinase C were less significant than those measured in the presence of cardiolipin. Nevertheless, the A1/2 of these two activators for the type I enzyme were lower than those for the type II and III enzymes. At high levels of phosphatidylserine (greater than 15 mol %), binding of phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate to the type I enzyme evoked a corresponding stimulation of the kinase activity, whereas binding of this phorbol ester to the type II and III enzymes produced a lesser degree of kinase stimulation. For all three isozymes, the concentrations of phosphatidylserine required for half-maximum [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate binding were almost an order of magnitude less than those for kinase stimulation. Consequently, neither isozyme exhibited a significant kinase activity at lower levels of phosphatidylserine (less than 5 mol %) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (50 nM), a condition sufficient to promote near maximal phorbol ester binding. In addition to their different responses to the various activators, the three protein kinase C isozymes also have different Km values for protein substrates. The type I enzyme appeared to have lower Km values for histone IIIS, myelin basic protein, poly(lysine, serine) (3:1) polymer, and protamine than those for the type II and III enzymes. These results documented that the three protein kinase C isozymes were distinguishable in their biochemical properties. In particular, the type I enzyme, which is a brain-specific isozyme, is distinct from the type II and III enzymes, both have a widespread distribution among different tissues.

Abstract
Immunoblot analysis of WEHI-231 B lymphoma cell homogenates revealed that both type II, a major component, and type III, a minor component, protein kinase C (PKC) were present. Northern blot analysis of PKC mRNA showed a higher level of beta II and beta I mRNA (encoding type II PKC) than of alpha mRNA (encoding type III PKC). Short term (3 min) treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) caused a rapid loss of PKC in cytosol and a concomitant increase in the particulate fraction. After prolonged (24 hr) exposure, the level of both PKC isozymes were decreased. However, the corresponding mRNA levels remained intact. PMA did not inhibit the anti-IgM-mediated increase in [Ca2+]i in PKC-depleted cells.

Abstract
Protein kinase C is a ubiquitous enzyme found in a variety of mammalian tissues and is especially highly enriched in brain and lymphoid organs. Based on biochemical and immunological analyses, we have identified three types of protein kinase C isozyme (designated types I-III) from rat brain. Monospecific antibodies against each of the protein kinase C isozymes were prepared for the determination of tissue distribution, subcellular localization, and developmental changes of these enzymes. The various protein kinase C isozymes were found to be distinctively distributed in different tissues: the type I enzyme in brain; the type II enzyme in brain, pituitary and pineal glands, spleen, thymus, retina, lung, and intestine; and the type III enzyme in brain, pineal gland, retina, and spleen. The rat brain enzymes were differentially distributed in different subcellular fractions. The type I enzyme appeared to be most lipophilic and was recovered mostly in the particulate fractions (80-90%) regardless of the EGTA- or Ca2+-containing buffer used in the homogenization. Significant amounts (30-40%) of the type II and III enzymes were recovered in the cytosolic fraction with EGTA-containing buffer. The expressions of different protein kinase C isozymes appear to be differently controlled during development. In rat brain, both type II and III enzymes were found to increase progressively from 3 days before birth up to 2-3 weeks of age and remained constant thereafter. However, the expression of the type I enzyme displayed a different developmental pattern; it was very low within 1 week, and an abrupt increase was observed between 2 and 3 weeks of age. In thymus, the type II enzyme was found to be maximal shortly after birth; whereas the same kinase in spleen was very low within 2 weeks of age, and a significant increase was observed between 2 and 3 weeks. These results demonstrate that protein kinase C isozymes are distinctively distributed in different tissues and subcellular locales and that their expressions are controlled differently during development.

Abstract
In response to phorbol esters such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), HL-60 cells differentiate to macrophage-like cells and exhibit the ability to phosphorylate vinculin in vitro. Adriamycin-resistant HL-60 (HL-60/ADR) cells similarly demonstrate this characteristic without prior treatment with TPA. Since protein kinase C (PK-C) is a cellular TPA receptor, we have examined the role of this enzyme in the inherent ability of HL-60/ADR cells to phosphorylate vinculin. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of cell extracts revealed that HL-60/ADR cells contained 2-fold more PK-C than did the parental cell line. All PK-C activity was found in the cytosol of wild type HL-60 cells, whereas 85% of PK-C activity was cytosolic and 15% was membrane-bound in HL-60/ADR cells. After a 2-day treatment with 10 nM TPA, PK-C activity was reduced 80-90% in both cell lines regardless of its intracellular distribution. Immunoblotting of cell extracts from HL-60/ADR cells or HL-60 cells following treatment with TPA revealed increased levels of a 52-kDa species of similar mass to M-kinase. Coincident with these changes after TPA treatment was a reduction in Ca2+ and phospholipid-independent phosphorylation of vinculin in vitro in extracts from HL-60/ADR cells, whereas HL-60 cells exhibited an elevation of this phosphoprotein. The phosphorylation of vinculin in TPA-treated HL-60 cells or untreated HL-60/ADR cells was blocked by antibodies to protein kinase C. These results suggest that it is not the absolute level of protein kinase C but rather the proteolytic activation of PK-C to a Ca2+ and phospholipid-independent form which is associated with the utilization of vinculin as an endogenous substrate.

Abstract
Cross-linking of surface Ig has been shown to stimulate phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis in murine B cells, leading to increases in [Ca2+]i and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Preliminary evidence suggests that a similar activation mechanism occurs in human B cells. We wished to examine whether anti-Ig antibody-stimulated human B cell proliferation is as dependent upon the presence of PKC as is anti-Ig-mediated murine B cell proliferation. Using highly purified, small, dense peripheral-blood B lymphocytes from healthy adult donors, we confirmed that PMA, a direct activator of PKC, is a potent mitogen for human B cells that synergizes with anti-mu antibody. Furthermore, we demonstrated that PMA treatment abolishes detectable cellular stores of immunoreactive PKC. However, after such depletion of cellular PKC, anti-mu antibody is still capable of delivering a proliferative signal to human B cells. It is unlikely that this signal occurs solely on the basis of increases in [Ca2+]i, because the calcium ionophore A23187 does not induce a proliferative response in PMA-treated B cells similar in magnitude to that seen with anti-mu. Additionally, the finding that pretreatment of B cells with PMA ablates the ability of anti-Ig antibody to mobilize intracellular and extracellular calcium also suggests that the ability of PMA to enhance anti-Ig mediated stimulation does not depend on elevations of [Ca2+]i induced by anti-Ig. Together, these observations suggest that anti-Ig signaling of human B cells may occur via other pathways in addition to the phosphatidylinositol system of calcium influx and PKC activation.

Abstract
Lamin B was shown to be a major substrate of cellular phosphorylation in the response of lymphocytes to phorbol esters. Lamins A and C, which were not observed in lymphocytes, were also substrates of phorbol-stimulated phosphorylation in those cell types that express them. Lamin B phosphopeptides labeled with 32P in intact cells treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate were compared to those produced by in vitro phosphorylation with protein kinase M, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. The phosphopeptides labeled by in vivo stimulation with phorbol esters are very similar to those phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase M, a catalytic domain of protein kinase C. Phorbol treatment of interphase cells significantly reduces the amount of detergent-insoluble lamin B, suggesting that phosphorylation of lamin may alter the architecture of the nuclear lamina. In addition, we have shown that treatment of a B-cell line with antibodies to IgM induces a modest increase in lamin B phosphorylation. These results strongly suggest that ligands that are known to activate protein kinase C at the cell surface or in the cytosol also lead to the activation of a nuclear kinase activity with a protein kinase C-type specificity.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (8/1, 10/10, and 25/3) against rat brain type II protein kinase C were used for the immunochemical characterization of this kinase. These antibodies immunoprecipitated the type II protein kinase C in a dose-dependent manner but did neither to the type I nor III isozyme. Immunoblot analysis of the tryptic fragments from protein kinase C revealed that all three antibodies recognized the 27-38-kDa fragments, the phospholipid/phorbol ester-binding domain, but not the 45-48-kDa fragments, the kinase catalytic domain. The immune complexes of the kinase and the antibodies retained 70-80% of the kinase activity which was dependent on Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine and further activated by diacylglycerol or tumor-promoting phorbol ester. With antibody 8/1, the kinetic parameters with respect to Km for ATP and histone and K alpha for phosphatidylserine and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate were not significantly influenced. However, the antibody causes variable effects on the K alpha for Ca2+ under different assay conditions. When determined in the presence of phosphatidylserine, the K alpha for Ca2+ was reduced by an order of magnitude (37 +/- 8 to 2.0 +/- 1.8 microM); in the presence of phosphatidylserine and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, the K alpha for Ca2+ was not significantly altered; and in the presence of phosphatidylserine and dioleoylglycerol, the kinase became an apparently Ca2+-independent enzyme. The effects of antibody 8/1 on the kinetic parameters of the enzyme for phorbol ester binding were different from those for kinase activity. This antibody causes a 20-30% reduction in phorbol ester binding and a 2-fold increase (1.9 +/- 0.2 to 3.9 +/- 0.3 micrograms/ml) in the concentration of phosphatidylserine required for half-maximal binding, but is without significant influence on those parameters for Ca2+ and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate. The differential effects of antibody 8/1 on kinase activity and phorbol ester binding with respect to the kinetic parameter of phosphatidylserine suggest that the roles of this phospholipid in supporting phorbol ester binding and kinase activation are different. In the presence of the antibody, the autophosphorylations of the phospholipid/phorbol ester-binding domain and the kinase domain were reduced; the reduction was more pronounced for the former than for the latter. These results suggest that the epitope for antibody 8/1 is localized within the phospholipid/phorbol ester-binding domain at the region adjacent to the kinase domain so that the autophosphorylations of both domains are affected.

Abstract
Immunocytochemical studies of rat cerebellum using specific antibodies against type I, II, and III PKC revealed the presence of the type I PKC in the Purkinje cells where transcripts of tau cDNA were localized, the type II PKC in the granule cells where transcripts of beta cDNA were detected, and the type III PKC in both the Purkinje and granule cells. Immunoblot analysis revealed that the expressed PKC in COS cells transfected with either alpha, beta, or tau cDNA of PKC were recognized by specific antibodies against the type III, II, and I PKC isozymes, respectively. These results prove that the type I, II, and III PKC are products of PKC genes, tau, beta, and alpha, respectively. With these specific antibodies we have identified the presence of multiple species of PKC in a variety of cell types.

Abstract
B-cell activation induced by crosslinking of surface immunoglobulin is known to stimulate hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol to diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate. We now provide evidence that alternative pathways of activation may also be recruited during such activation. We utilized depletion of protein kinase C activity to determine whether this enzyme is required under all conditions for anti-immunoglobulin-stimulated B-cell activation. Although anti-immunoglobulin does not induce B-cell proliferation in protein kinase C-depleted cells, it stimulates an earlier event in B-cell activation as reflected by its ability to enhance the expression of major histocompatibility complex-encoded class II molecules. Furthermore, the ribonucleoside 8-mercaptoguanosine restores the ability of anti-immunoglobulin to induce B-cell proliferation in protein kinase C-depleted cells. This restoration is also demonstrated by an enhancement of synthesis of a nuclear protein that we find is increased during B-cell mitogenesis. These results indicate that B-cell activation stimulated by anti-immunoglobulin may recruit pathways in addition to the one dependent on protein kinase C.

Abstract
We have previously identified three types of protein kinase C (a Ca2+-activated phospholipid-dependent kinase) isozymes, designated types I, II, and III, from rat brain (Huang, K.-P., Nakabayashi, H., and Huang, F. L. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 83, 8535-8539). These enzymes are different in their elution profile from hydroxylapatite column, sites of autophosphorylation, and immunoreactivity toward two types of monoclonal antibodies. Now we describe the purification of similar protein kinase C isozymes from monkey brain and their regional distribution in the brain. These primate enzymes all have the same molecular weight of 82,000, and each type of isozyme cross-reacts with the purified monospecific antibodies against its corresponding rat brain counterpart isozyme. These purified antibodies were used to quantify the relative contents of three types of protein kinase C isozymes in various regions of rat and monkey brains. In rat brain, cerebellum contained a high level of the type I isozyme; cerebral cortex, thalamus, and corpus callosum were high in the type II enzyme; and olfactory bulb was highest in the type III enzyme. In monkey brain, the type I isozyme was found to be enriched in cerebellum, hippocampus, and amygdala; the type II enzyme was at very high level in caudate, frontal and motor cerebral cortices, substantia nigra, and thalamus; and the type III enzyme was at the highest level in olfactory bulb. These results indicate that protein kinase C isozymes are differentially distributed in various regions of rat and monkey brains and suggest a unique role for each isozyme in controlling the different neuronal functions in the brain.

Abstract
Short term pretreatment of the B lymphoma, BAL17, with phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA) blocks elevation in inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) and increases in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in response to anti-IgM. The inhibition of enhanced InsP3 level is detected at 30 sec after the addition of anti-IgM, the earliest point measured, and is reversed by 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride, an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC). The blockade of increased [Ca2+]i by PMA is also observed at the earliest time examined (15 sec), is reversed by 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride, and is mimicked by dioctanoylglycerol, a physiologic activator of PKC. The enhanced production of inositol phosphates in response to NaF is also blocked in BAL17 cells pretreated with PMA. Extended treatment of BAL17 cells with PMA depletes cellular PKC. Such pretreatment with PMA enhances rather than inhibits increased InsP3 levels in response to anti-IgM and leads to more sustained elevations in [Ca2+]i than in normal BAL17 cells. These results lead us to conclude that PMA-blockade of the response of B cells to anti-IgM represents a disruption of the transmembrane signaling process (desensitization of the signaling pathway) as a result of a PKC-mediated phosphorylation event.

The inhibition of enhanced InsP3 level is detected at 30 sec after the addition of anti-IgM, the earliest point measured, and is reversed by 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride, an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC). The blockade of increased [Ca2+]i by PMA is also observed at the earliest time examined (15 sec), is reversed by 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride, and is mimicked by dioctanoylglycerol, a physiologic activator of PKC. The enhanced production of inositol phosphates in response to NaF is also blocked in BAL17 cells pretreated with PMA. Extended treatment of BAL17 cells with PMA depletes cellular PKC. Such pretreatment with PMA enhances rather than inhibits increased InsP3 levels in response to anti-IgM and leads to more sustained elevations in [Ca2+]i than in normal BAL17 cells. These results lead us to conclude that PMA-blockade of the response of B cells to anti-IgM represents a disruption of the transmembrane signaling process (desensitization of the signaling pathway) as a result of a PKC-mediated phosphorylation event.

Abstract
Rat liver glycogen synthase was phosphorylated by purified protein kinase C in a Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent fashion to 1-1.4 mol PO4/subunit. Analysis of the 32P-labeled tryptic peptides derived from the phosphorylated synthase by isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional peptide mapping revealed the presence of a major radioactive peptide. The sites in liver synthase phosphorylated by protein kinase C appears to be different from those phosphorylated by other kinases. Prior phosphorylation of the synthase by protein kinase C has no significant effect on the subsequent phosphorylation by glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 or kinase Fa, but prevents the synthase from further phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, or casein kinase-2. Additive phosphorylation of liver glycogen synthase can be observed by the combination of protein kinase C with the former set of kinases but not with the latter. Phosphorylation of liver synthase by protein kinase C alone did not cause an inactivation nor did the combination of this kinase with glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 or kinase Fa produce a synergistic effect on the inactivation of the synthase. Based on these findings we conclude that the phorbol ester-induced inactivation of glycogen synthase previously observed in hepatocytes cannot be accounted for entirely by the activation of protein kinase C.

Abstract
Polyclonal antibodies against rat brain protein kinase C (the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme) were raised in goat. These antibodies can neutralize completely the kinase activity in purified enzyme preparation as well as that in the crude homogenate. Immunoblot analysis of the purified and the crude protein kinase C preparations revealed a major immunoreactive band of 80 kDa. The antibodies also recognize the same enzyme from other rat tissues. Neuronal tissues (cerebral cortex, cerebellum, hypothalamus, and retina) and lymphoid organs (thymus and spleen) were found to be enriched in protein kinase C, whereas lung, kidney, liver, heart, and skeletal muscle contained relatively low amounts of this kinase. Limited proteolysis of the purified rat brain protein kinase C with trypsin results in an initial degradation of the kinase into two major fragments of 48 and 38 kDa. Both fragments are recognized by the antibodies. However, further digestion of the 48-kDa fragment to 45 kDa and the 38-kDa fragment to 33 kDa causes a loss of the immunoreactivity. Upon incubation of the cerebellar extract with Ca2+, the 48-kDa fragment was also identified as a major proteolytic product of protein kinase C. Proteolytic degradation of protein kinase C converts the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent kinase to an independent form without causing a large impairment of the binding of [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate. The two major proteolytic fragments were separated by ion exchange chromatography and one of them (45-48 kDa) was identified as a protein kinase and the other (33-38 kDa) as a phorbol ester-binding protein. This degraded form of the phorbol ester-binding protein still requires phospholipid for activity but, unlike the native enzyme, becomes less dependent on Ca2+. These results demonstrate that rat brain protein kinase C is composed of two functionally distinct units, namely, a protein kinase and a Ca2+-independent/phospholipid-dependent phorbol ester-binding protein.

Abstract
Adenylate cyclase activity in purified rat adipocyte membranes is stimulated by the calcium- and phospholipid-dependent enzyme protein kinase C. Over the concentration range of 100-1000 milliunits/ml, both highly purified (approximately 3000 units/mg of protein) protein kinase C from rat brain and partially purified (14 units/mg of protein) protein kinase C from guinea pig pancreas stimulate cyclase activity. The actions of both protein kinase C preparations on adenylate cyclase activity are dependent on added calcium, which is effective at concentrations less than 10 microM. Exogenous phospholipids are not required for stimulation of adenylate cyclase by protein kinase C; but, under typical cyclase assay conditions, the adipocyte membranes satisfy the lipid requirement for protein kinase C phosphorylation of histone. The tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate enhances the kinase action on cyclase, and the phorbol ester is effective at concentrations equimolar with the kinase (less than 10 nM). With the brain protein kinase C, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate effects are especially evident at limiting calcium concentrations. Inhibitors of protein kinase C activity, such as chlorpromazine, palmitoylcarnitine, and polymyxin B, inhibit selectively that adenylate cyclase activity which is stimulated by protein kinase C plus calcium. It is concluded that protein kinase C acts directly on the adipocyte adenylate cyclase system.

Abstract
Three forms of rat brain Ca2+-activated and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) were separated by hydroxylapatite column chromatography. These enzymes, designated type I, II, and III protein kinase C, all have a molecular weight of 82,000, undergo autophosphorylation in the presence of Ca2+, phosphatidylserine, and diolein, and bind [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate. Autophosphorylation of these kinases resulted in an incorporation of 1-1.5 mol of 32P per mol of enzyme. Two-dimensional peptide mapping analysis revealed that these kinases had different sites of autophosphorylation. Phosphoamino acid analysis showed that type I and type III protein kinase C primarily autophosphorylated at a serine residue, whereas type II kinase autophosphorylated at both serine and threonine residues. In addition, polyclonal antibodies raised against a mixture of three types of the kinase preferentially inhibited type I and type II enzymes. Monoclonal antibodies against type I and type II kinase only recognized their respective enzymes but not the type III enzyme. These results demonstrate the presence of isozymic forms of protein kinase C in rat brain.

Abstract
Ca2+-activated and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) isolated from rat brain cytosol undergoes autophosphorylation in the presence of Mg2+, ATP, Ca2+, phosphatidylserine, and diolein. Approximately 2-2.5 mol of phosphate were incorporated per mol of the kinase. After sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography, the phosphorylated kinase showed a single protein band of Mr = 82,000 compared to the Mr = 80,000 of the nonphosphorylated enzyme. Analysis of the 32P-labeled tryptic peptides derived from the autophosphorylated kinase by peptide mapping revealed that multiple sites were phosphorylated. Both serine and threonine residues were found to be labeled with 32P. Limited proteolysis of the autophosphorylated kinase with trypsin resulted in the conversion of the kinase into a phospholipid- and Ca2+-independent form. Two major 32P-labeled fragments, Mr = 48,000 and 38,000, were formed as a result of proteolysis, suggesting that the catalytic domain and possibly the Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding region were both phosphorylated. Protein kinase C autophosphorylation has a Km for ATP (1.5 microM) about 10-fold lower than that for phosphorylation of exogenous substrates. The kinetically preferred autophosphorylation appears to be an intramolecular reaction. The autophosphorylated protein kinase C, unlike the protease-degraded enzyme, still depends on Ca2+ and phospholipid for maximal activity. However, the autophosphorylated form of the kinase has a lower Ka for Ca2+ and a higher affinity for the binding of [3H]phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate. These findings suggest that autophosphorylation of protein kinase C may be important in the regulation of the enzymic activity subsequent to signal transduction.

Abstract
Tryptic fragments of protein kinase C containing the kinase (45 KDa) and phorbol ester-binding activity (38 KDa) were separated by Mono O column chromatography. The purified phorbol ester-binding fragment exhibits a higher affinity for phosphatidylserine than the native enzyme but comparable Kd for [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate as the native enzyme. This proteolytic fragment binds phorbol ester equally efficient either in the presence or absence of Ca2+ and the addition of the kinase fragment did not restore the Ca2+-requirement for the binding. These results indicate that protein kinase C is composed of two functionally distinct units which can be expressed independently after limited proteolysis with trypsin.
