Protein Kinase C (PKC)ζ Pseudosubstrate Inhibitor Peptide Promiscuously Binds PKC Family Isoforms and Disrupts Conventional PKC Targeting and Translocation

Protein Kinase C (PKC)ζ Pseudosubstrate Inhibitor Peptide Promiscuously Binds PKC Family Isoforms and Disrupts Conventional PKC Targeting and Translocation.

PKMζ is generated via an alternative transcriptional start site in the atypical protein kinase C (PKC)ζ isoform, which removes N-terminal regulatory elements, including the inhibitory pseudosubstrate domain, consequently rendering the kinase constitutively active. Persistent PKMζ activity has been proposed as a molecular mechanism for the long-term maintenance of synaptic plasticity underlying ...

Altered Protein Kinase C (PKC) Isoforms in Non-Small Cell

Drugs that target protein kinase C (PKC) are now being evaluated in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the role of PKC in NSCLC cells remains unclear. We report here that NSCLC cell lines show enhanced phosphorylation and altered expression of specific PKC isoforms compared with normal lung epithelial cells. PKC inhibition variably increased apoptosis, with rottlerin, a PKC i...

Nitric Oxide (NO) Induces Nitration of Protein Kinase C (PKC ), Facilitating PKC Translocation via Enhanced PKC -RACK2 Interactions

Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in the development of cardioprotection. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying the activation of PKC by NO remain largely unknown. Nitration of protein tyrosine residues has been shown to alter functions of a variety of proteins, and NO-derived peroxynitrite is known as a strong nitrating agent. In this investiga...

Protein Kinase C (PKC) and PKC Are the Major PKC Isotypes Involved in TCR Down-Regulation

Altered Protein Kinase C (PKC) Isoforms in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells: PKC Promotes Cellular Survival and Chemotherapeutic Resistance

Drugs that target protein kinase C (PKC) are now being evaluated in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the role of PKC in NSCLC cells remains unclear. We report here that NSCLC cell lines show enhanced phosphorylation and altered expression of specific PKC isoforms compared with normal lung epithelial cells.
