We have identified a murine T lymphocyte clone that apparently lacks diacylglycerol-and phospholipidactivated protein kinase C (PKC): cell extracts do not display phosphatidylserine, CaZ+, or phorbol esterdependent phosphotransferase activity; the enzyme was not detected in immunoblots with PKC-specific antibodies; phorbol ester binding sites are not detectable in intact cells; and activators of PKC do not stimulate proliferation or Na+/H+ exchange in intact cells. Only PKC beta mRNA was detected in normal murine T lymphocytes. The mutant T lymphocytes contained amounts of 4.4 kb PKC beta message similar to those in normal murine lymphocytes, but the 2.9 kb and 1.2 kb messages found in normal lymphocytes were barely detectable. No abnormalities were detected on Southern analysis, suggesting that the abnormality may be at the level of message splicing or stability. Since PKC-deficient cells proliferate in response to the T lymphocyte growth factor, interleukin-2, we conclude that activation of PKC is not essential for the growth-promoting action of interleukin-2. tntroductionProtein kinase C (PKC) occurs in two forms, a native 80 kd molecule and a smaller proteolytic fragment (reviewed in Kikkawa and Nishizuka, 1986). The native enzyme phosphorylates substrates in the presence but not the absence of Ca2+, phosphatidylserine, and diacylglycerols (DAGs), or phorbol esters, such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), that bind to the same allosteric
