چکیده

Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) phosphorylate diacylglycerol to form phosphatidic acid. In most cases, members of this large family of enzymes appear to bind and regulate proteins activated by either diacylglycerol or phosphatidic acid. Proteins that appear to be regulated, in part, by DGKs include protein kinase Cs, RasGRPs, and phosphatidylinositol kinases. By modulating the activity of these proteins, DGKs potentially affect a number of biological events including-but likely not limited to-cell growth, neuronal transmission, and cytoskeleton remodeling.

Calcium transduces plasma membrane receptor signals to produce diacylglycerol at Golgi membranes.

Protein kinase C and protein kinase D are potently activated by agonist-evoked increases in diacylglycerol. Using live cell-imaging probes for kinase activity, we have shown that both kinases are robustly activated at the Golgi following stimulation of G(q)-coupled receptor signaling pathways, displaying activation signatures at the Golgi that are distinct from those at the plasma membrane. Her...

Nuclear diacylglycerol kinases: regulation and roles.

The diacylglycerol-kinases are a family of related lipid kinases. There are currently 10 known isoforms of diacylglycerol kinases that are categorized into five groups based on similarities in their primary sequence. All of these enzymes catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphate of ATP to one lipid second messenger, diacylglycerol, thereby generating another lipid second messenger, phosphati...

The sphingosine and diacylglycerol kinase superfamily of signaling kinases: localization as a key to signaling function.

The sphingosine and diacylglycerol kinases form a superfamily of structurally related lipid signaling kinases. One of the striking features of these kinases is that although they are clearly involved in agonist-mediated signaling, this signaling is accomplished with only a moderate (and sometimes no) increase in the enzymatic activity of the enzymes. Here, we summarize findings that indicate th...

SAP-mediated inhibition of diacylglycerol kinase α regulates TCR-induced diacylglycerol signaling.

Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) metabolize diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. In T lymphocytes, DGKα acts as a negative regulator of TCR signaling by decreasing diacylglycerol levels and inducing anergy. In this study, we show that upon costimulation of the TCR with CD28 or signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM), DGKα, but not DGKζ, exits from the nucleus and undergoes rapid negative r...
