Using a combined pharmacological and genetic approach, we have identified as 260-280 in the C2 region as a critical factor in the catalytic function of protein kinase Ca (PKCa). Progressive truncations from the N-terminus as well as selected internal deletion mutants were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and tested for altered sensitivity to dequali nium, a PKC inhibitor whose target site was previously mapped to the catalytic domain. PKC mutants representing truncations of up to 158 amino acid residues(aa) from the N-terminus(ND84 and ND158) displayed 60-63% inhibition of kinase activity by 50 ƒÊM dequalinium, somewhat more sensitive than the wild-type PKCƒ¿ enzyme(45% inhibition). Mutant ND262, lacking N-terminal as 1-262, was inhibited by almost 72% with 50 ƒÊM dequalinium, but mutant ND278, which lacked an additional 16 aa, was inhibited by only 9% of total activity. This result suggests that a C-terminal segment of the C2 region(aa 263-278) influences inhibition by dequalinium at low micromolar concentrations. An internal deletion mutant(D260-280) which retains the entire primary structure of PKCƒ¿ except for as 260-280, was similarly inhibited by only 4% with 50 ƒÊM dequalinium. In the absence of dequalinium and despite the presence of a nearly complete regulatory domain, this mutant exhibited constitutive activity(both in vitro and in a phenotypic assay with S. cerevisiae) that could not be further stimulated even by the potent activator TPA. Taken together, our findings suggest that, in the native structure of PKC ƒ¿, the segment described by as 260-280 regulates PKCƒ¿ activity and influences the sensitivity of PKCƒ¿ to dequalinium.
